can someone please help me what's wrong with the elder tutterling?

[Tutter]

am anxious as am due to go away for the weekend

he's been complaining about pain inside his mouth today - mostly when eating

i can't get him to explain where exactly it hurts, nor can i see anything (although he's reluctant to let me have a good look)

dribbling a bit

he has all his teeth (i think? he has 20)

he's very nearly 3yo

can't understand why an ulcer/ bitten cheek would be causing him so much pain

he has a temp of 37.3 degrees, but maybe that's just due to it being 27 degrees in his room...?

Maybe he has a sore throat?

If his throat is sore he may not want to swallow hence the dribbling.

i don't think it's his throat tbh - you can see him wince when he puts certain foods in his mouth (sweet stuff seemed particularly bad)

strange though - nursery said he ate all his lunch

has he burned his tongue on something?

Thinking about it ds1 was like this last year and a few days later blisters appeared on his hands and it was hand, foot and mouth so keep an eye out.

can't think what he might have burned it on foxy - any ideas?

lododge - he has already had hand foot and mouth - can you get it a second time?

ledodge

like if someone gave him something too hot

(like food not cooled down) I'm not accusing you, just wondering out loud really

my initial thoughts were throat

or has he had too much pineapple? that always makes my mouth hurty and weird?

funny - he won't eat anything unless it's almost cold

but anyway, no i don't think so

Tutter a mouth ulcer is extremely painful, but I think its rather consistent, so not eating lunch at nursery doesn't really fit.

Could you have a nosy when he's asleep? I know I couldn't with my light sleeping DS, but I coujld with DD!

Could it be a mouth ulcer (clutches straws,genuinely puzzled)

sounds like what ds is getting over.

he's 3.6.

Temp, heavy cold, and complaining that his mouth hurts and refusing to eat because of it. He dribbles a lot anyway so it was difficult to tell wtih that.
Dr couldn't see anything wrong with the inside of his mouth. But he was screaming at some points (also all sore and cracked round outside of his mouth which didn't help).

He's had it about a week and seems to be getting over it now.

Dp has been feeding him milk with honey in

Not sure if it helped or whether it was clearing up on own/.

who is looking after him tutter, while you're away?

dh and PILs

going away on your own ?

he'll be ok with them then won't he. Maybe it's some weirdy ulcer thing but it doesn't sound too serious esp if you think it isn't his throat (was just thinking whether maybe the food at nursery was too hot for him?)

Do you still feel anxious? Don't want it to spoil your time away. I think key is how he appears 'in himself' iyswim?

yes a little anxious - only the second time i've been away from him overnight [pathetic]

off to meet up with a group of girlfriends in the cotswolds

ahh it's not pathetic. It's understandable. Hope you have a good time. I'm sure dh will manage.
