Ok moms...is this normal or should I be worried??
Jackson has had a fever on and off since Tuesday. Thursday I took him to the doctor to make sure it wasn't an ear infection. turns out it's hand, foot, and mouth. he only has blisters at the back of his throat. she said he was on the mend. since taking him, he has become super clingy and has less of an appetite which he really can't afford to lose because he doesn't gain weight. Anyway, he also has this odor coming from his mouth. is that normal from the blisters or?? please help....I also feel like labor is near so I just want him better before this little one comes!

@levismommy2014, I will have to try that!
My daughter caught hand foot mouth so bad, she wouldn't eat or drink. Our pediatrician told us to get children's benadryl and malox. She said to mix half a tsp of both together and give it to them. The malox helps soothe the sores and makes it easier for them to eat, and the benadryl helps the pain.
You're welcome. It's hard when they won't eat, especially if they don't gain easily to begin with. But fluids are more important than food when they're sick! I hope he feels better soon.
@liveitwithlove, thank you. I will try it!
That's what the pediatrician made us do. The coldness of the ice water soothes the sores. If he isn't eating right now don't make him, just make sure he's getting hydrated.
@liveitwithlove, he drinks just fine. He won't eat. why specifically apple juice and ice water?
It isn't hand foot mouth if he only has the sores in his throat. It's herpangina. Mix ice water with a little apple juice and feed him with a syringe periodically to make sure he's getting some kind of fluid. My son had this and was hospitalized.
@kschneider6, if it gets to 105 then it's something to be worried about. I would just keep track.
@6215teenmom, the fever is really low grade... like only 1-2 degrees higher than normal.
@kschneider6, my daughter had hand foot and mouth not too long ago. it's going around bad right now. my daughter got it right after being released from the hospital where she was on isolation and had no contact with other patients. but I would definitely bring up the odor and and how high is his fever?
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
My son has to see a pediatric Gastroenterologist for his puking and pooping issues. My poor baby, I feel so bad for him especially with his pooping. I hope the appointment is sometime this year and I also hope the weather holds up as we will have to travel about an hour as there are none where I live. 😕 also he has a wheat allergy which he seems to be fine when eating wheat but she said maybe it could be affecting him in another way with his bowels or making him puke so have to minimize that fro...
So my MIL has been kissing my son on the mouth ever since he was born and today I noticed that he has got sores on both sides of his mouth. Could it be from her??
It worked wonders trust me.
