So my son picked up hand foot mouth while we were in Wisconsin. He is in so much pain he can't eat anything and even water bothers him. Last night he got up 7 times. He would cry the entire time while I rocked him until he fell back to sleep 10 minutes later. He has been so unbearably cranky because there is no antibiotic for it because it is a virus. All I can give him is tylenol or ibuprofen for the pain, but it doesn't seem to be working. Anyway I think I have caught it. I have a sore throat and mouth. Now today I noticed a blister appear on my palm.

At least the risk is very low for the baby if I do have it.
