What does this sound like?
My bubba is sick
 poor love.This is the symptoms, and its got me boggled about how to treat her and how serious it might be... bites or ulsers all over her tongue sore throat? trouble swallowing? trouble eating lots of dribble (teeth or throat?) temp cough runny nose SCREAMING!!!! Shes so lost. Won't let me go. Night and day. Hard to distract. The bites or ulcers on her tongue have got me a bit more concerned and that its been going on for a few days now. I know she could just be teething, and then also hot and grumpy from this weather like the rest of us! Does it sound more serious to anyone? Been giving her some pain relief (hates bonjela and the like, so none of that an option). Oh and now she won't eat or drink, this is worrying, but only started now! NOT like her at all. TIA

Re: What does this sound like?
I would be taking her to the doctors/hospital straight away. The things that stand out to me is trouble swallowing and the blisters. That isn't teething. Just not worth the risk in trying to diagnose it.
Sending get better vibes to your bub!

Re: What does this sound like?
i agree totally with Bec.
Poor bub, definitely something I would get checked out straight away. Could be foot and mouth but even so something that definitely needs medical attention IMO

Re: What does this sound like?
both niccola and josie have had this. in their case, it's herpes simplex
 tho iwth josie it might have been exacerbated by food intolerances nothing helped. niccola went a whole week (5 days) without food or drink josie dribbled so much i put a bath mat around her throat. perhaps food based ice blocks? juices such as apple, but not the bitey ones such as orange or pineapple

Re: What does this sound like?
To me it sounds like Herpes Simplex too. My first got it when he was 5mths old. It coincided with his first teeth. For the whole week he refused to feed and I had to express and feed by bottle (strange because he wouldn't take a bottle before or after that week and why that would be more comfortable than breastfeeding I'll never work out).
It's definitely worth ringing/visiting the doctor because they will be able to ask you questions and get the 'bigger picture' of what's going on. Get well soon bub!!

Re: What does this sound like?
Looks like just a little virus. Nothing serious. But if you ask Airleas, its mighty serious.
