Another question about Coxsackie..

What exactly do the blisters look like? How do you see them if they are in the mouth? She does not let me in there at all! She does have a few red marks on the outside of her face near her mouth but she gets little pimples from time to time so I'm not sure what it is.

I am so paranoid about this now! Sorry if I'm asking too many questions or dwelling on it....

Re: Another question about Coxsackie..

Ryans just look like real real small pimples his throat was just red- so I cant tell you what they look like on the inside...

Try not to stress over it- if shes not feeling well... than just give her some extra lovin'

There is no cure for coxsackie.... its viral and it just has to run its course...

Re: Another question about Coxsackie..

Well, she FINALLY went down for her first nap today. She has been so cranky and was fighting it so bad. She was napping for a few minutes before and I tried to get in the shower and she woke up as soon as I shut the bathroom door.

I took this picture of her face before -- see the two red spots? This is what she has.

You guys must all think I'm crazy!

The blisters in Patricks mouth were in the back by his tonsils. He also had them on his hands (they looked like white heads) And he had some on his feet.

Re: Another question about Coxsackie..

My daughter also has the marks outside her mouth, they said that it absolutely can be from that. I know you were at a Christening this weekend, if you have any senior citizens that were there that are ailing or have compromised immunity systems you need to give them a heads up. We have to cancel my great aunt coming over tomorrow because the doctor said given her age and probability of compromised immune system it could affect her heart We also will probably have to skip my other great aunts 80th birthday party

The doctor describe the inside the mouth ones as looking like canker sores

ihShe just woke up from her nap crying and has a fever of 101.9 so I think this is it. Taking her to the Dr. in the AM. She seems miserable.
