My baby has the hands foot and mouth virus 😢. The doctor can't prescribe anything . I'm giving her…

Im going through this right now, my brother gave it to my son. Call your doctor and ask for lidocaine, its a numbing medicine, you rub it in their mouth 30 min before they eat, so they can at least eat something. If you dont have that available right away, you can put orajel with a q tip all over the babys mouth

Also, put calomine lotion on any blisters on the babys body so they dont itch

You can also give her either cold foods if shes eating already, and cold milk. The coldness kinda numbs their mouth, and makes it easier to eat. My doc gave my son permission to eat all the icecream he wants haha

@rathel8792, I'm so sorry to hear ur baby has it . The doc did not want to give her anything . Maybe baca use she is only 6 months . U think orajel would be safe for a 6 month old baby ?

Oh yeah, shes small. Yeah, its ok, I gave my son orajel at 3 months when he started teething, but if you arent comfortable with it, try the cold foods. It sucks how contagious it is, and its pretty bad for 7-10 days :( This past week we have watched the symptoms progress. It started with a random fever, the next day blisters and sores in the mouth, and the last couple days it looked like pimples on his feet, and mouth, and now today those pimples turned into big blisters. Ive been rubbing calomine lotion everywhere so it doesnt seem to bother him thank goodness. Hope your baby gets better soon, its not easy seeing them go through this.

@ta chel8792, thank u so much for all ur advice . I hope ur boy gets better soon .
