Hand foot and mouth disease ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
My 12 month old hasn’t been feeling good for the past few days and I just figured it was a little cold. Then I saw redness around his nose and mouth and checked his hands which had blisters on each one. Chat GPT said it is consistent with HFMD. I currently don’t have insurance until October so I am wondering if anyone else has any experience with this and what I should do. Should I take him into the urgent care or will they just give him a diagnosis and that’s it. I have read there isn’t any treatment or cure, just Tylenol etc. I’m so upset for my little guy. He’s usually so happy and active and he’s just been crying and wanting to be held all the time, I’m so upset. We just got back from a trip so I’m sure he picked it up at the airport somehow, even though I was constantly disinfecting everything, something must have gotten through. Poor guy.

Try kids mylenta to coat his mouth. That should help with some uncomfortableness.

This should clear on its own if it's HFMD my son had it at 9 months old. Within a few days he should be feeling better. HFMD can look similar to impetigo though.
