I have lots of questions and I'm hoping y'all with your wisdom can help me.
DD is 16 mo she had a mild fever starting a week ago (Monday) by Tuesday it was steadily 103- and still is almost a week later when she's not on meds. If your LO had HFM how long did their fever last? What about the sores in the mouth? T had one sore for a few days then tons on Friday and seems to be getting new ones but the old ones are shrinking. She only has one sore on her neck and possibly her hand. It's been a struggle to get her to eat and she has only had WCM since Tuesday. Any tips on encouraging her to take a bottle? We tried pedialite, Popsicles, juice etc and she's refusing everything- including milk most of the time. She's crying a lot and waking several times a night and during her nap. She's generally inconsolable. I solo parented till Thursday evening and DH catches a plane this morning and gets home Wednesday afternoon.
The plot thickens- yesterday (Sunday) I woke up with a runny nose and chest congestion. Last night I had body aches and a mild fever- that went away mostly. Now I'm totally plugged up with a mild cough. What gives? Did anyone get sick with something besides HFM when their child had it? Is it possible I will still get HFM?
