Definitely a bit crankier/more lethargic than usual, but nothing too extreme. The nights were the worst...he would just wake up screaming and there wasn't much we could do to console him. The super high temp was concerning....days of a solid 103/104 temp is scary. The dr's main recommendation was medicine to reduce the fever and around the clock fluids to avoid dehydration. maybebaby on "If your child had hand foot mouth" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-had-hand-foot-mouth#post-1494453 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 13:23:00 +0000 maybebaby 1494453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Yoyo: Smoothie is a great idea!

He's so OCD, I think he might find a popsicle "too sticky." Frozen fruit could work, though. Or maybe a smoothie. maybebaby on "If your child had hand foot mouth" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-had-hand-foot-mouth#post-1494395 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 12:56:26 +0000 maybebaby 1494395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Yoyo: I've heard popsicles and frozen cup up fruit are helpful in that case!

I wish a boob would make it all better, alas. maybebaby on "If your child had hand foot mouth" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-had-hand-foot-mouth#post-1494180 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 11:54:00 +0000 maybebaby 1494180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I hope everyone is well again soon! This is exactly the way HFM started for us. He's not a great sleep and has had a cough for 2 months, so we were getting up anyway, but high fever TONS of drool and then shrieking night wakings where he would arch his back and push us away but keep crying. It was so hard to watch. the best thing (besides tylenol for throat/fever) was the nurse/bottle feed frequently, I think the liquid felt good on his throat (and his appetite for solids is no good right now).

Always nice to pay $25 to be told to keep doing what you're doing and he'll get over it soon. Oh, please, let it be soon.

For us it was just the fever, no other signs (beside normal fever stuff (cranky, lack of sleep, etc) doodlepoodle on "If your child had hand foot mouth" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-had-hand-foot-mouth#post-1493434 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 06:16:23 +0000 doodlepoodle 1493434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MamaMoose: J's HFM fever was higher than that (103*) the 101 fever I might chalk up to teething...? Agreed on the symptoms though, high fever, awful sleep THEN rash/sores :( BabyMats on "If your child had hand foot mouth" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-had-hand-foot-mouth#post-1493379 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 01:41:09 +0000 BabyMats 1493379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Yoyo: yup just waited it out Mrs. Yoyo on "If your child had hand foot mouth" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-had-hand-foot-mouth#post-1493368 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 01:14:57 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1493368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @78h2o: @BoogieBea: @BabyMats: @bunnylovesbear: did everyone just have to wait it out? There's nothing they can really do for a virus, right?

Was he acting totally unreasonable? My normally pretty sweet guy is just completely defiant right now and I am going out of my mind. On a day when he woke up super early and only napped 40 minutes, he fought bedtime until 10pm. Now he's awake again with DH, and I just got done calming down the baby, who he woke up with his screaming when I had the audacity to ask him to calm down. 78h2o on "If your child had hand foot mouth" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-had-hand-foot-mouth#post-1493226 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 22:08:55 +0000 78h2o 1493226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I know that it can start that way, but she did not get a high fever. She definitely got all the sores though! Hope your LO feels better soon.

She just had sores that bothered her a bit.

My LO started this week off with a fever of 101 and lots of drooling for a few days. There were no other symptoms and the fever broke Tuesday so I chalked it up to teething. Now you're scaring me that it is/was hand foot and mouth and were still not out if the clear!

(However, we didn't notice anything out of the norm when we attempted to check his mouth for sores.) bunnylovesbear on "If your child had hand foot mouth" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-had-hand-foot-mouth#post-1493161 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:27:05 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1493161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We just went through this...started with an unexplained super high temp and disrupted sleep. (He's usually an amazing sleeper...7:30pm - 7:30am or later every day) He was waking up at 11/12pm each night and fussing for hours. The rash didn't show up til days after he was diagnosed, which was probably close to a week after the temp started.

I don't see a rash or sores yet ... Also, he has been flat out refusing to sleep, even after I've brought his fever down with meds. I am exhausted and out of ideas.
