Need Relief for Son's Mouth

I just took my 24 month old to the Dr. for having a high fever that has lasted for about 2 days. There are no other symptoms other than a fever and some blisters on his tongue that just showed up. The Dr. said it was a form of Hand Foot and Mouth. He doesnt have anything anywhere else on his body, just on his tongue. Does any one know anything about this or how to sooth the pain? All I was told was to give him 1/2 tsp pink Benadryl and 1/2 tsp Mylanta or Maalox mixed to numb the sores. He is loosing weight due to this because it hurts to eat.

Kid Heading off to College Question

Hi moms and dads. My oldest will be graduating from high school this June. For those of you who have sent a kid off to college, what items that were not on the typical "what to bring to college" list did your kiddult need? I don't mean the extra long sheets and the quick dry towels, I mean the things that you got the "emergency" text/email about, that you had to package up and send them, that you didn't know to send them with. I want her to be as well prepared as possible! :) Thanks for any input!
