My daughter had it a while ago and yes it did resolve itself and improved quickly, in a matter of days. She found the mouth ulcers were the worst, no real tips but cold yoghurt and fruit smoothie pouches plus calpol etc. good luck. It's sad to see them poorly. :(
Thank you. Will by in some yoghurt and ice cream tomorrow. hope our little outbreak does not spread to my 5 month old, who is only now finally getting over whooping cough and has had quite enough discomfort for such a little one.

I second anbesol, very effective. You can also try having your LO swish a little liquid Gaviscon around in the mouth, or mix a little with milk or water to sip. This helps with any kind of ulcerative mouth pain, not just Coxsackie virus.


I would avoid or be cautious about generic preparations of baby ibuporfen. I had one of these through the GP for Little Saff, but the suspension was much more acidic than branded baby Neurofen. It was obviously painful on her throat. I tried some myself, and it was nasty. I put it in the refrigerator and we only ever used it as a last choice if we'd run out of branded Calpol or Neurofen.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
