Hand, Foot and Mouth will usually clear up on its own within 7-10 days. However, if you want to make your child’s life easier during this period and to speed their recovery, look at the remedies below and give your child 4 doses of the remedy in a 30c per day. If the remedy you chose hasn’t helped after that fourth dose, rethink your choice.
Rhus Tox (pictured here) is one go to for this illness. The key indication is extreme restlessness, especially at night caused by the itching of the skin.
Borax is the remedy to consider when your child becomes clingy and won’t be put down. The sores will be in the mouth and will be red or bleeding.
Mercury is the best remedy when sores and blisters affect the whole mouth, perhaps with a sore throat. There may be increased saliva and a puffy tongue with bad breath.
Belladonna is very useful at the onset of the illness when the child is feverish with reddened skin and dilated pupils. The throat may be sore, red and inflamed.
I hope this is useful. There are other very helpful remedies for Hand, Foot and Mouth, so get in touch if your child’s symptoms don’t match with any mentioned above.
