FlameBoy's Blistered Tongue Update

[Flamesparrow]

I realised I had threads about this all over, so seemed easier to do a fresh one for the update!!

We managed to get enough fluids in him to keep him home - the doctor says that she's not too sure how that was enough, but it was. Since then he seems to have passed the turning point....

He is feeding properly again, and has even just eaten lunch.

He is still very doped up on pain meds, and as they wear off he screams such a pained cry that it makes me ache He is most upset about not being able to suck him thumb, and that's making falling asleep hard.

I think we have a couple more long days and nights ahead, but things are definately improving

Thank you for all your advice!

oh poor boy - glad he's on the mend

What caused the blisters?

so sad to have heard this flame

your poor ds and poor you

good to hear he is on the mend

oh and dd2 just luuurves her totsbots

Good to hear he's not as bad now Flame.. Pity about the pain he is in, the wee dote.

Take Care

It turns out it is oral herpes Belgo He has a tongue and inner mouth full of coldsores.

I had one last week and the doctor is assuming that the virus passed onto him and this is how it came out.

that sounds painful. I get cold sores, I'm going to worry now that I'll pass them on to my dds

Awww your poor little mite flame, if it helps its the 1st time I've heard of a coldsore developing into this in a tot {{{Hugs}}}}

Try not to worry Belgo - hardly anywhere had the meds which implies its rare.

Soooo much better today

He's been playing, chattering, and is due calpol and not screaming!

glad he's getting better! Is it possible that he'll get them again?

how did i miss this?!

so sorry for poor flameboy, glad to hear he's improving though.

{{{hugs}}} for both of you

Glad he's on the mend - poor little mite.

I'm not sure I didn't think to ask that!
