spots in 23 month old mouth

[forevermore]

ppanic panic, what does this mean?

spots on nappy area for 3 days, then spreading a little down legs now on fingers and i can see them under the skin of her palm, now in mouth, original ones starting to scab over with sudocreme having been applied.

hand, foot and mouth virus!

how would she get that? is it serious?

It's a highly contagous virous, that lots of children get. My DS was not under the weather with it, but there was a recent thread where someones LO was poorly.

the spots started in the nappy area though, could this still be it. she is not unwell in her self!

does she go to nursery, creche or any playgroups - highly contagious and just does the rounds .info here

childminder and a couple of play groups, mixes with lots of children. could it be anything else? just done the glass test on her hand and it blanched which is what you want right??

think its definetly hand foot and mouth disease. she is dribbling and mouth is sore.

how long do symptoms last

not very long, a few days. Painful especially at night, so give calpol/bonjela.

my dd eat lots of ice cream when she had this.

dd'd childminder has recently got chickens could she have caught it from them?

no. it's not from animals. It's from other humanchildren and a perfectly normal part of childhood.
