Duh- I guess I should have just posted the remedy I am a tard I think. 50/50

maalox and benadryl works for sore throats and strep throat too. We gave it

before each meal and before bed time it would coat 's throat enough so

he could eat or take a bottle or atleast start to sleep. We actually had

Tylenol with codeine when he had this because he was in so much pain and it

was so horrible he couldn't sleep he just cried and cried our dumb ped

diagnosed him with an ear infection 2 nights later we ended up in the ER no

ear infection but this instead the ER DR was wonderful saying whatever it is

he needs pain management first and we will figure out how to deal with the

problem in a minute our ped is not real proactive in the pain management and

I had to demand the tyl with codeine during the second round but it was the

only way he would eat or sleep even for an hour. I hope it doesn't get worse

got a horrible case of it so I don't envy you keep us posted. Oh that

remedy the ER DR called it swish and swirl and we gave a tbs. of it she said

he could drink it or spit it out it didn't really matter but if he drank it

it would help the throat too and we gave it often I guess since the benadryl

is diluted they don't worry about it so much. How much does weigh???

Beck,

Thanks for the offer! I haven't noticed any blisters in his mouth,

but on his lips. None on the hands or feet at this point either.

But I'd love to know that remedy now, just in case!!! Was

really miserable and not sleeping with the HFM? has been sooo

cranky and tugging at his ear (but he does that when he's sleepy,

too) which is why I thought it was an ear infection. Do I just have

to wait it out? The dr was more concerned about strep, and didn't

say much about HFM.

I don't really want to be at work anyway (see my response to

Debbie!)

Thanks!
