Hand Foot Mouth

How many times will she get it? The night after her check up, when she was spiking fevers... I thought she was just reacting to the shot. But come to find out... she had HAND FOOT MOUTH disease AGAIN. This time it was BAD! Her poor lips, tongue, under the tongue, and throat were COVERED in blisters! She wouldn't eat for three days! The nights were TERRIBLE! The treatment... NOTHING. Tylenol and Motrin for fevers and pain. I will give a tip if you child ever experiences this... give them 1/2 tsp of Mylanta. They can swallow it or spit it out, but it sooths the blisters.
