Attn Delino - Hand foot and Mouth Virus

DiFazette

@delino - my little guy was diagnosed with hand foot and mouth, which I believe your LO had a few weeks back. Any tips or tricks you can share? He's got an ear infection on top of this and is just miserable. He's got blisters all over his face, arms, legs and diaper area. Just noticed them in the throat yesterday. Night 3 of no sleep last night. Just looking for anything that was helpful for your LO. Thanks!!

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that

Alternate Tylenol and Advil every 3hrs. It's painful! Cold drinks, ice pops, yogurt...things to coat his throat.

Mine had the sores in her mouth which were found on a Monday with some spots on her body. The spots spread by Tuesday and blisters on her feet by Wednesday. She didn't appear to be in pain anymore by Wednesday and the blisters weren't blisters anymore by Saturday. She's still healing from them though two weeks later.

Hope he heals quick!!

Thanks! I tried an ice pop last night and He didn't seem to like it. Glad to hear it should only be another day or two before he's feeling better.

I second alternating advil/tylenol. Hang in there only bad for a few(long) days.

@beaubecca - his pedi said 1/2 of their appts this week were hand foot and mouth. He's got it bad...The blisters on his face are finally starting to clear up. He's covered though. Looks like a severe case of chicken pox to me. He seems to be feeling better, slept for 12 hours last night!!!

I'm so glad he's feeling better.
