Hi, so sorry to hear that. My boy was also down with HFMD at 4 months and had ulcers in the mouth so we had to be warded as he was unable to drink at all - had to tube feed. He was only given fewer medicine and teething gel to use for the ulcers in his mouth. Didn't even have cream for the rashes but he wasn't itchy either. Just need to wait it out. Be careful to always wash hands and wash everything actually - it has a 10 days period of infectiousness. Get well soon baby

Thanks!when dr check be doesn't have any in the mouth but dr says maybe because it's just the beginning so it hasn't developed , his voice turns husky though, not sure if it's due to sore throat caused by hfmd. May I know if yr child was warded at kkh? Initially wanted to bring him there but decided to go to our regular pd who is nearer our place
