NCR: Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease

You guessed it...LA's got it.

Ugh.

Luckily she doens't have any sores in her mouth, but her hands and feet look so pitiful Sad

Only good news--she doesn't seem bothered by it and we both slept in this morning.

Ah, the joys of childhood diseases!

Re: NCR: Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease

  • I have no idea what this is but it sounds awful - so sorry for her!  I hope she gets better soon!!!!!

    ETA - Since wikipedia is down, I can't do my normal research to find out - guess I will need to try WebMD!

  • That is awful! Hopefully it continues to not bother her. My old roommates son had it while I lived with them and he was miserable for weeks. I'm hoping she gets over it quickly!

  • Poor baby- I hope she doesn't get the mouth/throat sores at all. That is one illness we have managed to not pick up (and because I just typed that, I can probably count on us all coming down with it in 10... 9.... 8...).

    Feel better, Lil!

  • Oh no!  Feel better LA!

  • Oh, no!  Poor little thing!  Hope she continues not be bothered by it!

    I suppose it could always be worse; a friend's SIL just came back from vacation with Typhoid! Ick!

  • Poor Baby! :( I hope she gets better fast. 

    My little brothers got that last year. It was horrible for them. They caught it at football. (ages 11,13,15) They had never been exposed before. I have never seen 3 kids more miserable in my life.

  • Thanks y'all.  Like I said, so far, she doesn't seem affected by it--but we do have two things going for her:

    1.  If she has any sores in her mouth, I cannot see them (of course, she is not super cooperative about showing me either).

    2.  If she does get sores in her mouth, at least she doesn't eat orally so the pain won't be as bad--gotta look at the positive eh?

    I am not worried about me getting it--I'm sure I have built up an immunity to it thanks to my job--but hoping DH doesn't get it because then I might just have to run away!

  • Oh no! I hope she feels better soon!  

    DS had that a few months ago, he never got sores in his mouth either just rash on his hands and feet and a slight fever.  Luckily it only lasted a few days!

  • I've been counting my luck that DS hasn't picked this up yet. He prefers the more exotic 6 day fever viruses of unknown nature. He just got over his third one.   Hope she stays comfortable!

  • My older son had that.  I had more sores in his mouth than on his hands and feet.  It was so pitiful.  He was in so much pain!

  • DD#1 had it when she was less then a year old. We went in to the doctor for a well baby check and our pedi caught it then. It must have *just* started because she just had a couple tiny spots on her feet. The doctor warned me it could get worse and to be prepared and shrugged it off. Her poor mouth was covered the next day. She would scream when I went to feed her. Poor little girl.  Hopefully she just caught a minor case.
