My little boy, 2, has hand foot and mouth. I first noticed little red marks on his lip on Saturday but I thought he had bitten his lip as he was perfectly well - no fever and eating and drinking ok. By Sunday morning when I changed him his bum was covered in spots where there had been none the prior night which prompted me to check his hands and feet a and sure enough there were spots, not a lot mind you and he had ulcers on his tongue.
he seems generally ok, no fever and drinking ok, eating is not but that’s ok, however his mouth is painful for him and he won’t take medicine (we tried, he gagged and vomit we everywhere!) as I assume the medicine hurts his mouth (ironically).
how long do the ulcers last generally? If it wasn’t for them he would be ok… I know the mouth can heal quickly usually but is that the case with this? Will the ulcers vanish before the hand/feet spots?
