Mommies I need your advice .
Friday I took my son to the doctor , because he wasn’t eating or drinking anything , and when he would he would cry his ass off because it would hurt his mouth or throat. Doctor said he had a red throat. Which made him be like fussy & not want him to drink or eat anything ? So prescribed my son an antibiotic but I see blisters in his mouth and hands . And he still really fussy and never drinks or eats anything . ( has a really hard time )
Give him infant Tylenol or ibuprofen for pain and discomfort. Make sure his food is room temperature, provide cold treats to help numb pain and reduce swelling (like popsicles, ice cream, jello, apple sauce yogurt, his drinks) hope he gets well soon 💙
I literally went through the same thing with my 1 year old! Last week... he had been waking up twice throughout the night screaming!a😓 Popsicles help and a lil pedialyte.. like just 6 ounces or else he will be bouncing off the walls. I hold him and put his singing shows on. Just try to take his mind off the pain. Oh and around the clock ibprofren a must to alleviate his pain!
Oh, and when you bathe him, make sure the water is just barely warm. It’ll make his skin super sensitive to heat.
@_mommyoftres, It could take up to 7 days, maybe longer. My son had it for almost 2 weeks.
It spreads pretty much like any sickness, coughing, sneezing, etc. Also make sure you wash your hands really good after changing him because it can be in his poop for a long time. Jello, popsicles, cold drinks, smoothies. No citrus or anything spicy or anything salty. He should be feeling a lot better in a few days, but after the bumps go away, there will be a lot of skin peeling.
It's highly contagious. Make sure you wash hands good. No kissing or drink sharing.
@scream.queen, how long does it take for it to go away?
He probably won't eat because of it hurting. Offer popsicles and cold drinks. Calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream on hands. Nothing else you can do.
@blueismycolor, how does it even spread ? 😯 how does this happen 😩? What can I do to make the pain go away? Or the blisters . I’m just having a really bad meltdown . 😢
Definitely sounds like Hand Foot and Mouth. It’s spreading like crazy lately.
If there's blisters then it's probably hand foot and mouth.
Y’all 😭😭 so my sons has a viral infection and his throat is swollen and full of puss. He’s obviously being fussy about eating and drinking . On top of it, I game him a frozen yogurt tube thing and he choked on it and my mother in law had to dig it out, causing some bleeding . What can I do to soothe his throat? 😭😭
So for the glucose test.. My appointment is Thursday at 9:30am... Do I not eat or drink anything??? Doctor never really explained 😩
I'm guessing to not eat or drink anything the night before?? (Like 9pm) Than again I have no idea lmao
So all day Josiah has been crying everytime he tries to eat or drink something... so I told him to let me see his mouth and he has this rash in his mouth and blisters in his throat.. I had him at urgent care Tuesday and they did a strep test which was negative and at that time his throat was just a little red... idk what's going on but looks like another trip you the doctor 😐


It’s super hard to see in my sons mouth since he was tiny but I’m thinking he’s lip tied? I don’t know much abt it, any input would be helpful.
Also has anyone seen anything like the second pic I noticed it this morning, my first guess was a tooth was pushing out but I can’t feel anything hard, but it’s hard to tell. Hoping he opens his mouth alil more so I can see

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...
Switch between Tylenol and ibuprofen every round, it helps alleviate the pain better than just using one or the other. & it’s just better for little ones, my sons doctor told us to rotate whenever he needs them. Hand sanitize like crazy and just try to keep him distracted as much as possible. Maybe try getting him to eat or drink 30min after medicine. & i would go to the doctors again or a different one so he’s not taking antibiotics if he doesn’t need them. If it’s hfm it’s pointless for him to take them. I hope he feels better soon mamas 💙
