Hand, foot, mouth
Is in my house : ( Both my girls (19mo and 3 yrs) have it. They look terrible! I called OB to make sure I'll be ok - he said I was fine.
Anyone have experience with the virus?

Re: Hand, foot, mouth
Yes!!!n ugh. You poor thing!
Aveeno baths help. Ice pops. Tylenol/ibuprofen.
Good luck!
DD just kicked it a few weeks ago. She only had the spots in her mouth and nothing on her hands and feet. Since she had no appetite, her pedi told me to make sure she was hydrated and not to worry too much about her hardly eating. He also suggested a mix of Maloxx and children's Bendryl to 'numb' the throat since it causes a sore throat. (I didn't do this cause I didn't like the sound of it) Since it's highly contagious, I had to keep her home from DC for a few days til her fever broke.
Hope your LO feels better soon
When DD had it she mostly just had the fever and sore throat and maybe couple spots in her feet so no real appetite. Just have on hand lots of cold fruit (watermelon, etc. if they like it) Popsicles, juice, etc. Anything to keep them hydrated and feels good on the throat. My pedi sad don't even worry about meals if they aren't interested. Also have lots of Motrin or Tylenol on hand. Good luck!
