Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Sorry!!! This is going to be a bit long but there are a couple of things going on and I need to explain the whole picture. Just wondering if anyone has any information for treatment of coxackie's disease. (hand,foot,mouth disease) I took my 2 1/2 y.o. daughter to the doctor (she had to be really bad for me to do this) as she has a combination of things going on. She has a very moist cough, her lungs sound clear (triggered from who knows what/she had whooping cough around Thanksgiving last year/probably a post nasal drip). She has yellow drainage from her eyes(her sister had pink eye last week for which we used MSM eye gtts. and has worked wonders for both of them; doctor agrees with me that it is pink eye and believe it or not agrees with the treatment as I told him that I prefer not to use antibiotics.) and finally she has these white patches in her mouth with a few blisters (which the doctor believes is coxackie's disease). It started with about 4 canker sores on her tongue. (She has also been stressed out due to a change in sleeping arrangements- she has slept with my husband and I for the past 2 1/2 years and we finally got her a bed of her own and she is just not too happy about sleeping in it without me/she still nurses at nap time and bed time/I've laid down with her until she falls asleep but she somehow knows I am not there in the middle of the night/this I know will take time) She does complain that they do hurt her. The past few days she has survived only on cheerios and diluted juices and water. Anything else seems to bother her alot. She does swish the MSM in her mouth and swallows it and does also take the superfood with the diluted juice once a day anyway. Is there anything else I can do for her as I know that the latter of the three runs a viral course of about 2 weeks? Thanks in advance! Blessings!
