I have Google-diagnosed DS (2.1) with Hand Foot and Mouth.
Spots with blisters mostly hands, feet and bum, but also smaller ones (just red, not blistered) on arms and legs and a couple in mouth. I've not seen any mention of the spots spreading to arms and legs though, which is making me doubt it.
He's tireder than usual, and had a bit of a cough last week. No temperature, and very giggly boy just as normal.
Surprisingly to me, DD (6mo) shows no signs yet. HF&M is supposed to be very contagious, and he's often all over her, as toddlers are. His first spots appeared on Thursday, but we thought it was just irritation from going swimming every day. Definite blisters on his hands and feet, just red spots elsewhere, and he doesn't like me wiping his bottom. One manky nappy today, but been ok until that.
Does this sound like HF&M?
