my 3 month old has asingle blister on roof of mouth and a rash on his outer cheeks, help?

Question

he seems to fuss alittle while feeding and has been more irritable than normal.I took him to the doctor who told me there was no sign of infection but he seems to be worse.

Answer 1

Maybe thrush?

Maybe teething... teething can cause rashes and blisters.

I'd take him back in, or to another pediatrician.

Answer 2

They weren't concerned about a blister in his mouth???

I would think it could be a couple of different things. It is common to see sores in mouths with Hand, Foot, and Mouth.....but this isn't really anything where meds can cure it....just takes time.

Now with the rash on his cheeks....there is something known as "slapped cheek syndrome" and for the LIFE of me I cannot remember the technical name for it.

If your doctor wasn't concerned, I don't know that I would be, either, since they do know best, but if he is significantly worse, you could always put a call in and see what they say.

Answer 3

yeah that sounds like the hand foot and mouth virus...go see another doc if the first one couldn't find anything!! Its not a comfortable virus to have and there is stuff you can give to make him feel better from the doctor!

Answer 4

check his hands and feet for blisters could be foot and mouth disease (not hoof and mouth) will run its course and he will get better
could also be fifths disease cold like symptoms can range from mild to severe, blistering in mouth, red rashy cheeks, could develop rash on torso, might not, runny nose, etc not happy also will run its course also known as slapped cheeks disease and human parvo

Answer 5

Sounds like a case of hand, foot and mouth. Its a virus...I'd get a second opinion.
