Baby's ill

Herpangina, Stomatitis.

I had never heard about these till two months back. Arunav was down with Stomatitis last month and this month the doctor said it is herpangina. I could not understand the difference since both are so so painful for my little one and both seem to have the same symptoms - his throat is red and with big white blisters in it and he is slivating like mad - he cannot swallow, eat, sleep - it is heart-wrenching to see him cry in pain everytime something goes down his throat - even if it is just his saliva.

People around me tell me it is common for children going to daycare and even otherwise - it will keep coming back till he is 3 years old - goodness God!

It's really very hard for a mom to see the child in pain but you know, after initial few years the child gains immunity and these symptoms becomes less and less.
Hope Tinku gets well very soon and enjoys Tokyo Durga Puja.
Wish you all a Happy Durga Puja,
Sushmita-di
