Baby came down with HFM at the weekend. Yesterday a mouth ulcer popped up on my tongue and I had diarrhoea once. Today I've had diarrhoea twice and my stomach is making loud gurgling noises. Might I have HFM?!?

This is hand foot and mouth.As a adult it shows up pretty bad ,so you would know.This is from when i got it,it was awful

@rosydreams ouch!! Did the rash come on gradually? I'm afraid I'll wake up tomorrow morning like that. Baby has it quite mild. Only a few spots though has a very sore mouth

I cant remember to well how fast it came on i think it took a day or two to get that red Just be sure to have everything you need in the house .My feet were the same as my hands ,i couldn't walk anywhere for over a week

When I got it I had an extremely sore throat, muscle aches, rigours and fatigue. I didn’t have many spots thank god, only on the palms of my hands. I have never felt so unwell. One of my daughters had only one spot and one had quite a few. I think symptoms can differ in severity so it is possible if it is in your house.

DH had the aches and sore throat with ulcers, but no real rash
