Hand, foot and mouth?

Another vote for HFM!

HFM

Yep HFM!! Poor thing. Hopefully only a mild dose

BalloonDinosaur · 07/03/2018 16:32

Jumping on the HFM bandwagon here too. DS had it quite severely round his mouth, arms/hands, bum and legs. Nothing at all anywhere else

Not unless it becomes infected. They tend to get the high temp before the rash appears but regular calpol to ease the pain from the mouth ulcers if it's affecting their eating/drinking is helpful. You might find that his finger/toe nails start peeling or falling off in a few week/a month or so, they will grow back ok though.
