Totally off topic, but advice needed please!
Hi, my lo was 3 in january. She has been complaining of a sore lip over the weekend but she bumped her lower lip slightly at nusery on friday. She has also been a little subdued at times over the weekend, I had wondered if she was going to start with chickenpox as some kids at nusery have had it recently. On putting her to bed tonight she said her lip hurt and I said 'no its better now' and she said 'not there' and pointed to her left cheek where there was nothing. She let me look in her mouth and she has a big ulcer. I feel really bad because it must have been bothering her all weekend, which then explains why she has been different. She had a proper cry when I was sympathetic but flatly refused to let me put some bongela on it I even said she could put it on!! She also refused calpol to make it feel less painfull.
She has now gone to sleep and I am wondering what to do about it-I dont like the thought of her suffering with it cos we all know how painful they can be. I have thought I might be able to sneak some bonjela on it whilst shes asleep but would hate her to wake up whilst I'm doing it.
So please has anyone got any suggestions?:\?

I started with chickenpox in my mouth when i was little, I woke up with a sore mouth and blood all over my front teeth then a couple of days later the spots came.
I know what you mean though, I can't stop worrying if i think my dd is in pain. She recently bit her cheek inside and it took ages to heal, I put bonjela on it and she really screamed her head off when i did it, then looked at me like i'd done it on purpose. That made me feel even worse!! maxi xxx
Thanks again, Helen.xx
