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.

    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder    
    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
