15 month old with blisters

[TeamSouthfields]

Sorry put here for traffic...

My 15 month old niece is covered in a rash, viral doctor thinks....

But since seeing the dr, the blisters in her mouth have got so bad she cant take her dummy or bottle ... Shes teary, temp on and off from 38-39...

Any advice would be really recommended please

hand foot and mouth? chicken pox? Is she taking pain meds?

Sounds like hand foot and mouth disease to me.

My 22 mo had it recently....it will go after about 1 week or so. She will prob be grotty for a few days, but just treat with calpol.

If blisters in mouth so bad she isn't drinking/eating then take her back to doctors.

I would prob take her back for a 2nd opinion anyway....

Does she have a rash on her hands and feet? It could be hand, foot and mouth?

Sounds like hand foot and mouth. Give some neurofen and calpol.

NHS Direct or your OOH, what antipyretics are you giving? (Paracetamol/Ibuprofen)

Fever isn't necessarily a bad thibg it shows the body is fighting an infection but dehydration could be a concern

Hope she gets better quickly

If her condition has worsened and you're worried take her to out of hours.

Could be chickenpox - take her back to docs to be on the safe side.

Hope she feels better soon.

If she has got worse then seek further medical help.

Keep a close eye on fluid intake. Sryinge liquids in if needed. Keep on top of pain relief.

Hope she feels better soon

Sounds like hand foot and mouth.

Hand foot and mouth? my daughter had it n wouldn't eat cos of blisters In mouth. Had them on soles of feet as well. She was grouchy for a few days but it passed quickly.

Have you tried some calpol? If she is unable to take oral fluids or medication, I would probably get her checked over, do you have an OOH GP service?

Think it is hand, foot and mouth...

Any reccs about what i can do for her pain?

Shes already taking regular calpol and ibuprofen

Would suggest syringing liquids directly into her mouth if not taking bottle/dummy to prevent dehydration, cool flannel to help with temp, or place her in a tepid bath, then sit her on a towel.

Thanks everyone
