I've had intermittent bouts of mouth ulcers for a few weeks, and this week DH has become totally infested with them all over his tongue. He can hardly eat/talk and is almost in tears with them.
I'm wondering if our DS (18mo) has had them too, as he's recently been particularly off his food (even more-so than usual) and even trusty bananas have been being rejected with a howl.
Now - I know that normal mouth ulcers aren't contagious, so I'm wondering if we could have all got a touch of hand, foot and mouth disease that I've been hearing about as doing the rounds? What do people think? We've not had any other symptoms (other than touches of colds etc and my son who had a day of fever about 3 weeks ago, which I now wonder if that was linked). Don't you get sores all over your hands and feet as well with H,F&M? Or is it possible to just get the mouth bit?
Advice or experiences from anyone who's had it or similar would be greatly appreciated.
