Hand, foot, mouth disease question

[KarlaB]

Wondering if anyone has any experince with it. I think dd may have it. :\ She had a fever of 102 a couple days this week and hasn't had much interest in eating. Looked in her mouth tonight and saw little white bumps. :( (She also is getting 2 molars.) No rash/bumps anywhere else except a teeny rash in her diaper area, but it is not blistery or raised. Looked online and it says if it is HFM it is viral, highly contagious, and there is no treatment. Just wondering if bumps have to be present on other parts than just in her mouth in order for her to have it.....?

I've been around it at the daycares...but always find it hard to identify...but it goes around there quickly. I've personally never saw a bad case. so I'm not much help.

I really don't have any experience with it either... I hope she feels better soon!

Ds has had it. He had the fever first, and then the spots in the mouth came, then hands/feet at the same time. Over a period of a few days.

Yikes! Is she any better? Hope it's not HFM since it's so contagious...

Still no clue what is going on with her. Tried to look in her mouth yesterday and couldn't get a good look at her cheeks, but there isn't anything on her tongue. Keeping an eye on her and hope it all turns out to be nothing!! :\

I've never had to deal with it so I can't really help you. Good luck though, I hope it turns out to be nothing.
