HAND FOOT AND MOUTH

[casey19]

Just looking for some help please. My 2 year old woke up this morning with a rash in between his legs got doctor to phone me and within 30 minutes it had spread to his hands, feet and mouth :( it's breaking my heart seeing him in pain doctor won't give me anything he said it will get better on it's own, he's not had temperature so I'm taking that as a good sign. His poor little feet are all red and swollen he's a boy who loves running and he's in so much pain when he walks. I'm just looking to see if any other mums had any ceam that helped with the rash? And how long their little ones had it for before things got better. My hearts breaking he never gets a break bless him 💔

We had a steroid cream prescribed but that was because he had severe nappy rash with it. We didn't put anything on the rest of the rash.

Drs give us piriton. Was a fucking miracle drug that helped us through that hand foot and mouth. Ask your GP about it. Literally saved me

My little one has hfm at the moment too, bless him. The dr said it just has to run its course
He's covered in spots all over and I just feel like crying looking at him, poor bubba

We've just had it here too. Antihistamines and calpol are the best bet

I just came in here to see if HFM is going around as my son has developed a rash and there's so many posts!!

I don't have any advice but I hope your LO starts to feel better soon
