Chicken Pox or something else? Spots on hands and feet.

Check inside his cheeks for spots but yeah sounds like hand, foot & mouth to me too.

Thanks ladies.
We're taking him to the doctor this afternoon so we'll find out for sure then.
It doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. He never scratches mozzie bites either though. So who knows.
He's happier today than he's been all week.
He's ate breakfast normally and is breastfeeding fine so hopefully it's just a mild case.

How long does it take to clear up?
Is it uncomfortable, itchy, sore?

My kids had it once and they weren't even sick. They only had a few spots on their hands and feet and some around their mouth. I don't remember any being in their mouth but this was a long time ago so it's possible that I have forgotten.

If he has a temp or is feeling uncomfortable give him some panadol. I doubt you'll have to though.
