    Oh poor DS. My DD had this a while back too, I just couldn't work out why she would start eating and drinking and then just stop, and when I found out she had hand foot and mouth I felt so guilty



    From what I remember, it cleared up quite quickly. I wonder if it might be worth keeping the nurofen in the fridge. That way it will be colling and soothing in his mouth



    Best of luck xx

    Have you tried using a syringe, it's much easier to sneak in the side of their mouths that way!
