Is the rash blistery ? Or under the surface of the skin ?

under the surface of the skin.

not hand foot and mouth hon. i know often they are blisters but they can also look red and pin prick???

have you had a look in his mouth. one of my mindees couldn't eat with H, F and M as they had loads of the spots on the tongue/throat.

Thats what I thought too. My DD had it a few months ago, and was generally unwell, her feet hurt, couldn't eat and had a mouth full of blisters......its horrible....sending hugs

It could still be hf&m pip - the blisters are often right at the back of the mouth and in the throat , and hes had a sore throat? Not nice , hopes hes feeling better soon x

No suprise there then

How are you getting on?

Pipsqueak · 16-11-2010, 02:47 PM

he seems ok - the rash faded a fair bit by this afternoon but the hoarse raspy throat returned and the up and down fever.
Went to ask the pharmacist (fat lot of good they have EVER been whenever I have asked them) - he just looked really confused and kept on about a cough. told him several times rather firmly that H has not had nor does he have a cough. he thinks the rash is unrelated and if i am concerned go to the doctors.
Well thank you Einstein but i have to admit the bloke did look like he was about 16yr old!

Think he can go back to school tomorrow and spread it around what ever it is! lol (kidding - will keep an eye on him)

hope he's a bit better tomorrow Pip. one of my mindees mum caught it and was so poorly with it - twice. She had to have a week off work each time. Think you get iller the older you are
