PAIN CONTROL IS IMPORTANT

There is a lot parents can do to keep their child comfortable. Controlling your child’s pain is important to help ensure they stay hydrated. The risk with untreated mouth pain is that your child won’t drink enough.

You can treat a child who has hand, foot and mouth with acetaminophen and ibuprofen. They can be given together or spaced apart by an hour. As soon as one starts to wear off, give the other. As long as you are giving the proper dosage for your child’s weight, we advise pain relief around the clock.
