Sheyanne start sick on Sunday night. Having fever at night. Monday FIL brought her to see doctor in the evening. I went together as well. She was having a high fever (39.6'C) on Monday when visit doctor. According to FIL, fever gone after taken the medicines but came back again after 4-5 hours. During the consultation with Doctor on Monday, she took the H1N1 test since doctor examined that her throat is swollen. Luckily the result is negative. So gave her antibiotic and fever medicines again. She sleep well at night through until morning. Today, FIL said she is very not feeling well but yet she do not know how to speak yet. Keep pointing on her mouth and cry so much during day time. Never seen her like this before. And she willing ask for water when her throat is pain. So evening, brought her to consult doctor again. Since today, my parents is having dinner outside and hubby is not around, I dined in in-law's place. Before that, went to Doctor and already confirmed that she got Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD).
Symptoms:
1. Fever
2. Sorethroat
3. Ulcers in the throat, mouth & tougue. (Sheyanne's tougue do not have ulcers yet but seriously on her throat & mouth)
4. Rash with vesicles. (Small blister 3-7mm on hand, foot& diaper area). The vesicles are typically on the palm side of the hands the sole side of the feet and very characteristic in apperance.
5. Loss of appetitie (Obviously Sheyanne loss her appetite coz she cannot eat due to pain, drink less milk also)
According to Doctor, this disease is detected within 5-7 days. We must take good care & higiene. Doctor given the cream for the hand & foot, Gel for the ulcers. Reminder from doctor, she need to drink many many water. If she follow & obey, she will get well by Thursday. Really hope she get well soon. Mummy heart so pain when seeing her so suffering.

If Sheyanne can drink yakult, can give her some. This is one of the mummy told me, i give my boys yakult, it can soothe the throat and mouth.
