What to feel your child with Hand foot and mouth

Does she still have any milk? My son had it when he still had a fair bit of milk so he'd just have milk and yogurts and went back to normal food when the sores had healed up. Aside from that I'd not stress too much about food consumption, so long as she is having water and wet nappies she'll be ok without many solids.

As for the ice cream, if you don't want her to have it, can you freeze Greek yogurt? It probably feels nice and soothing.

From memory the worst was over for us after about 2-3 days and he started to go back to normal x

Mine lived off yoghurt and mini milk lollies when they had it, bless it makes their mouths so sore! Honestly whatever she will eat is fine even if it's just icecream for a couple of days. Drinking is more important but straws/sippy cups you have to suck might hurt to use. You haven't said how old she is but if she's not able to use an open cup on her own yet then hold it for her to have sips from. Hang in there, hopefully she feels better soon! X

Mine lived off yogurt and applesauce

Just give her ice cream. Try some tylonel if you haven’t already. She’s in pain and discomfort. You unfortunately just have to get through it, it should pass within a few days.

When it comes to sickness, I forget all the rules. The goal is survival for everyone.

Duvet on the sofa, Sesame Street on TV, comfort food, ice cream.

If she’s refusing food, any food is a win. She just needs calories and rest, give her the ice cream and by the weekend she’ll be over it xx

What about a smoothie? Also, not sure what medicine you’re trying but when my son had HFM and my daughter had chicken pox (had ulcers with it), anbesol really helped 😊
