Hi Dr Lim, my boy recently caught HFMD from his school and has been fussing a lot about his mouth ulcers, what can I do to reduce the pain and misery for him?

Provide cool food and drinks. Cool foods and liquids, such as juices, ice cream, or yogurt, may be easier to eat. Use oral numbing drops, gels, or sprays to coat painful oral ulcers in younger children and infants. They provide relief for painful, swollen throat and mouth ulcers.
