Nothing to serious just concerned with my youngest just reached 1 year old on 18th Dec and Xmas eve came down with hand, foot & mouth disease. The GP stresses this quite common in under 5's but I confess I'd not heard of it (not to be confused with foot & mouth in animals). Basically, poor wee fella has had a fever, swelling/spots/sores around his face, hands and bottom along with common cold symptoms. This has put a downer on Xmas since he has been clingy and very restless during the night.
Recently, he's also suffered croup and other more common colds etc one after another. My wife and I are finding this difficult since our eldest (4) sailed through baby stage relatively healthy and there seems to be quite a stark difference between them. I guess it's just the way of it but we're both feeling for him just now, horrible as a parent seeing your kiddy so miserable. Still he's a resilient little thing sure hell bounce back again before long
