So I took DS to the ped's today.
On-call GI was concerned and wanted an MD to look at him.
He has white ulcers inside both cheeks of his mouth and on his gums.
Because of Ds's hand blister - he thought hand foot mouth disease
Blister is mostly gone.
Feet are fine...so no hand foot mouth disease.
Checked mouth ulcers and said it was not thrush.
WE have not had bad ulcers yet until now.:ybatty:
so apparently crohn's is flaring more...just great
Ped with call on call GI and let us know if there is a change of plan but for now keep him hydrated to avoid inpatient and rinse with maalox/benadryl.:yrolleyes:
Maalox is on back order so I need to find out if mylanta will work.:ymad:
anyone know if you can use mylanta instead????
