hand foot mouth....poor arlo. help me help him
Quoting 1mommy2him:Just kept giving him tyenol and the other meds that his doctor gave him it was like 3 meds in one. he did fine with it and it was gone in a week. just make sure that you bleach anything and everything that he comes in contact with and i mean everything.
Quoting WildCat73:How does one get it? I would like to try to avoid my kids and family from getting it. or is there no preventive measures? I am so soory your little one is ill I hope he feels better soon.
it didnt take but about a week but that was because as soon as he stopped drinking and eating we went stright to the peds have you took him to the peds and got him put on some meds.
Quoting gypsy_rose:

What it is where one child plays in poop or wipes and doesnt wash their hands good enough puts their hands in their mouth and then touches a toys then the next child touches the same toy and puts his hand in his mouth. It really came from horses.

Same way you get a cold. kids his age get it realy easy. i guess a ton of kids in this area have been getting it. they have been getting 10+ kids a day with it at the office at their office.

Ok if the rash just showed up then in the beginning it wasnt hand foot and mouth diease that was something else. just keep giving him the meds and making sure that he is drinking plenty of water and not a lot of juice if you do give him juice make him drink water right after to rinise his mouth out the sugars are the worst thing for it.

I had that back in 2003..me and my son both caught it from my nephew. I actually had a worse case than my son, thank goodness. He didn't really get anything in his mouth, mainly just the spots on his feet and hands. He did well with just Tylenol. I, however, had blisters all in my mouth to the point where I didn't even want to eat soup and I asked the doctor to put me out of my misery. (actually, I tend to ask him that every time I am sick lol) It's been so long ago that I don't remember how long it lasted for us.
Am I wrong for not giving a F**** that hes dying?
