    Kam gets them a fair bit, as do I. We just use bonjela on Kamerons and sometimes panadol for pain relief if it is really bad. I put straight vegemite on mine. Stings like hell.

    She could have bitten the inside of her lip. That can cause them. I get mine from stress, but I don't think a 2.5yr old would be overly stressed out.

    Check hands and feet and tongue as well - hand-and-foot-and-mouth disease is a possibility. It's not serious for DD, but it is contagious and not very nice for pregnant women

    Astrolady - thanks hun, So ill just keep doing what im doing.

    Kmn - Nah no other sores anywhere else. No nothing anywhere TBH so I dont think its hand, foot and mouth. Shes been complaining of a sore mouth for about 5 days so the other sores would have showed up by now yeah? Should I take her to the doc anyway, just to double check? I have a terrible cold atm and dont really want to have to worry about that too!

    Clover - She screamed blue murder yesterday when I put vegemite on her toast so I couldnt imagine putting vegemite straight on it. I just couldnt bring myself to do it to her Shes currently living off bland foods.. peanut butter sandwiches, yougurt, porridge etc. I attempted to get her to eat some spag bol for tea.. as soon as the tomato hit her mouth she was so upset

    I will see if i can get her into the doc tomorrow just to check it out. I think I need to go aswell.. argh pregnancy sickness..

    If there are no other sores then I wouldn't bother. There's nothing the doctor could do about it anyway. The main thing if it was is that you need to try and not have contact with her saliva or her pooh - careful handwashing and trying for "kiss Mum on the cheek" is probably all you can do anyway.

    Yeah stuff with salt in it isn't good pain wise, but it really really helps LOL. She'll probably be over the worse of it tomorrow.
