my son started becoming unwell Sunday
( he is 20 months)
Thought it was a heavy cold but it's hands foot and mouth,
He has the rash on his bum, blisters on his mouth, Hands and feet, his mouth looks really sore,

he is doing okay during the day, just unwell and quite clingy wanting cuddles most of the day but settles fine with cuddles,

The last 2 nights he has been waking up every 15 minutes and seems very agitated, he's kicking his legs about and cuddling doesn't settle him ( he is normally a great sleeper and very easy to settle in general )
what can I do to help him he seems in pain?
I've gave him an oat bath tonight
Keeping topped up on calpol and neurofen
I have a numbing throat spray
Very congested so using vics ect
Any other ideas and is this normal ?

Try Vira Soothe for the blisters and bonjela for the blisters in his mouth. It's absolutely awful my 1 year old had it for 10 days.
