2 Year Old Has Sores Around Mouth

Three of my kids had hand, foot, and mouth disease this past week. They did not have any redness around the outside of their mouths, though I have seen pictures of kids who did.
Get a flashlight and look in her mouth-her throat, tongue, below her tongue, cheeks, and even the gumline. From there, it progresses to blisters on the hands and feet a couple of days later. They may have some, or all of the symptoms. Mine also had sore throats in the beginning, but no fever to speak of. Good luck!

When my daughter was very young I picked her up at my mom's and found the outside of her mouth looked burned...........turned out my mom had made a pie and let her have some meringue......they is how I found out my daughter had an allergy to eggs (she did outgrow it).....

Call the doc........good luck

Definitely go to the pediatrician--could be hand foot mouth, infantigo, herpes zoster, allergic reaction, etc. The doctor will need to get a sample of one of the spots to test it, then you'll know what course of treatment will be needed.

My sister's son gets these kind of sores around his mouth everytime he has a cold. It is not hand foot disease, but I think a form of cold sores and they always pop up when he is sick. They are very painful, but she has medicine that she gives him when they pop up.

Look on the internet for pictures of hand, foot and mouth disease. This is the time of year for it. My son had it last year and a VERY mild case this year. It is usually accompanied by a fever (about a day or two before the sores). Unfortunetly, there is nothing to do for it but motrin. For us both times it was painless, but I know some kiddos have a hard time with it!!

Good luck!

S.,

You might want to keep track of what your daughter ate last. It almost sounds like an allergic reaction or possibly exzema, which can both be signs of a food allergy. Think about strawberries, nuts, eggs, etc. This can be serious, so definately ask the doctor! Good luck:)
