My son was just diagnosed with hand foot and mouth desease. I noticed little red blisters on his palms but didn't really think much of it as he was still eating normally, his temperature was fine as well. The night before i took him to the dr's he just wouldn't settle. I dosed him up with Neurofen for babies, i tried everything yet he still cried most of the night and wouldn't really sleep. Next day he went to daycare and that's when they picked it up that he had the desease. I took him to the dr's and the dr told me what it was. There's no antibiotics for it, so really i've just gotta wait it out with him. It has been almost 3 days now that he has had it and the blisters on his hands have gotten bigger, he has a few in his mouth which are the ones irritating him. He has calmed down a whole lot though since the first day. He's 11 months and there's really not much you can do but give him painkillers n sometimes that won't work. So i was told it takes bout 7 days for it to fully clear and no other kids will be at risk, so we have another 4 days to go. I will post up more if it gets worse, if not i will post up when he's well again. To be honest i feel there's really not much of a worry but just be prepared for a couple or more sleepless nights.
