In the early stages of C Pox, it can be difficult to tell the difference between the 2. Lots of
people recommend giving the child a warm bath as that can encourage the blisters to develop. Hopefully you’ll know one way or the other in a day or so!

Have the worst case of HFMD. Weirdly my daughter doesn't have it. She had a spot on her face and bum, and the nursery sent her home thinking it was chickenpox but it wasn't and they've since gone away.

I'm super itchy, especially my hands, and I can't swallow or eat anything. My throat is in agony! Docs keep saying it will going away in a few days but I need something to help that isn't just paracetamol and ibuprofen! Any tips on how to ease this journey?!
