Hand Foot Mouth

My 2 1/2 yr old son has been diagnosed with Hand, Foot, Mouth. His mouth is full. Really full of sores. My pedestrian said to mix Benadryl and Maalox together and swab his mouth. Which is easier said then done with an over dramatic 2 yr old. He won't eat much because it hurt. I have been giving him children’s mortron, which helps. The sores seemed to have spread to his lips. Is there anything that we can put on his lips?

My 7 Week Old Has Stopped Eating

My 7 week old recently stopped eating. Two weeks ago she was eating 3 oz every three hours. It took her anywhere from 20 to 30 min to finish. Two Saturdays ago she just stopped eating.

Neither have worked. My child is eating 1 oz of hypo-allergenic alimentum every three hours and it takes her an hour to get the 1 oz down. Does anyone have a similar...

Kid Heading off to College Question

Hi moms and dads. My oldest will be graduating from high school this June. For those of you who have sent a kid off to college, what items that were not on the typical "what to bring to college" list did your kiddult need? I don't mean the extra long sheets and the quick dry towels, I mean the things that you got the "emergency" text/email about, that you had to package up and send them, that you didn't know to send them with. I want her to be as well prepared as possible! :) Thanks for any input!

Serious Case of Diaper Rash & Di

I would greatly appreciate anybody out there who has feedback on this issue. I have already been to doctor. My 11month old little boy has had diahrea for 6 days which has resulted in his diaper rash. My doctor perscribed some type of cream & told me to mix it with Maalox and Balmex. I have done this for one day with no improvement. I change his diapers every time he soils them, which seems like every 15 minutes ( I have to get the diahrea under control as well). He is ok as far as being hydrated and having a great apetite. The doctor told...

Need Relief for Son's Mouth

I just took my 24 month old to the Dr. for having a high fever that has lasted for about 2 days. There are no other symptoms other than a fever and some blisters on his tongue that just showed up. The Dr. said it was a form of Hand Foot and Mouth. He doesnt have anything anywhere else on his body, just on his tongue. Does any one know anything about this or how to sooth the pain? All I was told was to give him 1/2 tsp pink Benadryl and 1/2 tsp Mylanta or Maalox mixed to numb the sores. He is loosing weight due to this because it hurts to eat.
