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.

    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so    
    • I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ? 
    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.
