4yo DS has got lots of little white blisters /spots in his mouth. After some googling I think it might be H,F & M.

He seems ok otherwise, no temp and nothing on his hands or feet - mind you he only got over chicken pox last week so he's got lots of red marks already Hmm.

And, yes, we will be heading to the out of hours GP tomorrow to get it checked out.

TIA

sounds like it Meg.
From what I remember, it was many years ago now, there were clusters of tiny blisters which looked red and sore, but if you looked closely you could see each blister. With little groups around the mouth and the the fingers and toes. They were a bit under the weather with it, but nothing major. I think we just had to sit it out.
I hope you're Ds is feeling ok..

he seems to be ok, lots of sneaking up and downstairs at the moment Hmm.

he was very calm this afternoon and happily flopped on the sofa though, I did think it was a bit out of character.
