Need advice on my youngest

[Guest guest]

You have decscribed the classic symptoms of the Coxsackievirus, which is an

enterovirus.This viruis usually starts in the tonsils. I would recommend herbs

to strengthen the immune system. Goldenseal, ecchinacea. Probably most improtant

is whole licorice. It soothes the throat impooves T-cell count and increases the

body's production of interferon. MARK

Hello,

 

Last Summer all my kids and my husband came down with Hand Foot Mouth Disease

(blisters in the mouth and palms of hands and soles of feet).

 

Well my youngest 22mo old came down with a fever Wed. night and continued with

it yesterday and today. Well tonight she refused to eat so I looked in her mouth

and she has blisters all over her tounge, cheeks and red spots around her mouth

and on one of her hands.

 

Now I thought this was one of those viruses that once you get you don't get

again. Anyways I was wondering if there is something I can do for her to help

her along and get rid of this faster. She's not drinking much because it must be

painful. She is also very very cranky!

 

Thanks,

STeph
