Sigh.. the Little One caught the HFMD... really poor thing cos we could see that he was in pain cos his tongue was covered with uclers, so couldn't really suck on milk.
It started with a higher than usual temperature on Friday morning. The school said that he was a little warm but after giving him some water, his temperature came down and it stayed down for the rest of the day.
On Saturday morning, his temp hovered around 37.3 - 37.5 degrees.. he was warmish but not really having a fever. No other signs so i concluded, maybe teething fever.
On Sunday, wow.. that's went the spots started to appear. In the morning, i brought him to the gp to check on one bigger spot and the doctor checked his mouth.. no uclers.. but wanted us to monitor him for more spots. Sure enough, the red spots started appearing at the end of the day.
So i arranged for FIL to bring him to the pd for a check on monday morning... sigh, one look and doc confirmed that it was HFMD. called school and told him,and the Little One will be on MC for 1 week.
Now, with the meds, he is feeling much better... still no fever and i sure hope it continues this way. Hope he gets well soon.
