[QUOTE="jal, post: 170363, member: 3477"] Sounds like hand-foot-mouth (cocksackie virus). My son got it 2 years in a row at daycare when he was 3 and 4. A little fever but blisters usually always appear in the mouth and they can also appear on the hands and feet. First time just blisters in the mouth, second time in the mouth, feet and hands. Both times he got it we were 1 day away from going somewhere for summer vacation. "Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common viral illness of infants and children. The disease causes fever and blister-like eruptions in the mouth and/or a skin rash. HFMD is often confused with foot-and-mouth (also called hoof-and-mouth) disease, a disease of cattle, sheep, and swine; however, the two diseases are not relatedthey are caused by different viruses. Humans do not get the animal disease, and animals do not get the human disease. Illness The disease usually begins with a fever, poor appetite, malaise (feeling vaguely unwell), and often with a sore throat. One or 2 days after fever onset, painful sores usually develop in the mouth. They begin as small red spots that blister and then often become ulcers. The sores are usually located on the tongue, gums, and inside of the cheeks. A non-itchy skin rash develops over 12 days. The rash has flat or raised red spots, sometimes with blisters. The rash is usually located on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet; it may also appear on the buttocks and/or genitalia. A person with HFMD may have only the rash or only the mouth sores. Cause HFMD is caused by viruses that belong to the enterovirus genus (group). This group of viruses includes polioviruses, coxsackieviruses, echoviruses, and enteroviruses. Coxsackievirus A16 is the most common cause of HFMD, but other coxsackieviruses have been associated with the illness." Typically passes in a couple of days. I remember a vaca to the Cape where all he could eat was milk shakes, jello and yogurt. He was 3 at the time. [/QUOTE]
