Suggest Treatment For Mouth Blisters And Fever In Children
My 2 year old has been diagnosed with hand foot and mouth disease. His mouth is swollen and full of blisters and sores that are bleeding and he is in constant pain. I have been alternating Tylenol and Motrin for the high fevers but it doesn t seem to help the pain. He can t eat or drink anything. What else can I do to help him be more comfortable
Hello and welcome to healthcare magic. Hand foot and mouth disease is self limiting viral illness.It will last for about 2 to 7 days.To ease pain give paracetamol or ibuprofen(but not aspirin). For mouth ulcers give over the counter 20% bezocaine gel (ultrcare somogel bonjela)or spray that gives adequate pain relief.Provide adequate hydration and rest. Hope you find this answer helpful.Good luck.
