Preventing the spread of hand foot and mouth
Our one year old got hand foot and mouth and now my toddler also has it. How can we prevent it from spreading further? Can we do anything to make their mouths feel better? It hurts them to eat and brush their teeth.

Hi! My little one just got over this. It was pretty bad and I felt horrible. My doctor recommended using Tylenol and Motrin rotating to help with the pain. She also recommended dabbing some mylanta on a cotton swab on the viewable sores, which helps protect them. We gave cold liquids and a lot of ice pops, because they seemed to hurt the least.
Definitely see if any of these options work for your kids after talking to the doctor.
Good luck 💚

Thanks@Falysha F! We’ve got lots of pops because it’s hot so I’m going to try those. How long did it take before your LO got better?
