How to handle with HFMD

[H2OSeekers]

I'm so stress now pregnant 5 mths and have to take care of him nw..hw long will he take to recover..he now have fever also..wat can he eat and cannot eat??

IMPORTANT:
Not trying to scare you. Better talk to your gyne, when my wife was pregnant, there was a HFM case in my elder son's playgroup. Spoke to both my wife's gyne and son's pediatrician, they mentioned that for HFM there are no concrete evidence to support that it would or would not affect the foetus, unlike flu or common cold which is documented as not detrimental to your unborn baby. Both of them mentioned to keep away, as prevention better than cure. Because of that, my son did not attend school for 9 days, to prevent him from bring it home.

In your case, difficult as your son is the one with the HFM. Call your gyne as soon as you can.

squeeze fresh orange juice to increase the immune system at this time. One glass per day OK liao.
Ulcers in the mouth,  I think eat cold stuff like ice cream can reduce the pain for a while.

Can anyone else in your family take care of your son first? You got your baby to worry about, your son's HFM is short term. TOUCH WOOD! But possible long term complications to your foetus is something worth giving a thought too.
