My daughter has come down with HFM. We initially believed it was teething as she was drooling lots and was pulling at her teeth. However she developed blisters on her feet, bum and hands and clearly inside her mouth. She's been so unsettled and so upset - it's so hard seeing her in pain. We have been given some numbing gel for her mouth and giving ibuprofen and paracetamol. Is there anything else I need to do/ should be concerned about? Her temp got to 37.8 last night before the blisters came up on her hands and feet. She's just generally really unsettled and sad.

Seen a pharmacist who confirmed HFM and said it's not super dangerous and only to see a doctor if her temp soars/ she vomits / she's dehydrated - the usually under 2 stuff.

I just get worried when she's poorly and particularly when she's so unsettled
