hand foot and mouth disease...

mommyof3girls

Good lord, this hand foot and mouth disease is a freakin nightmare!!! Our 4yr old contacted hfmd in preschool. It's going thru each of my kids one at a time. Fever for 2 days (which made 2 of my kids vomit), then the sores/blisters come... They apear ALL over inside their mouths, hands, feet, knees, elbows, almist everywhere. Last night our 3 yr old was crying, pulling her toes, telling me she "needs her toes off" because they hurt so bad. i think i have it too but not nearly as bad. Thankfully, we r on the last child to get it. I just feel so horrible for them. This is by far the worst virus we have delt with. Its really amazing how much junk kids bring home from school. Not to mention we havent been out of the house for almost 2 weeks... I dont want to expose any other kids to this nightmare. Ugh, vent over. If u read this... Thanks for listening. By the way, i had heard of this before but didnt know anything about it. Craziness!

@Tootie08 over the counter pain meds is pretty much it. Its an icky virus that u just have to wait out. Ive given them benadryl at night to help em sleep.

@mommyfor3 thank you! I tried so hard disinfecting the house and i guess it didnt work. Glad it worked for u.

Will do! Lol I've actually only been there once. Random question, have you been to that museum of play?

mommyof3girls

@starrxoxo9 oh YES! My kids would live there if we let them. For sure bring ur daughter when shes old enough to run ALL over the place.

Aww cool! What's the earliest age do you think? Like 2 or 3?

@starrxoxo9 she'd probably have fun at 2. So much stuff to do there.

Be sure to clean very well! I heard its transferred by dirty hands and not washing after changing diapers or using the bathroom. I hope it clears up soon
