My brother came down with a fairly high
fever (102.6) last week, and it lasted for
a full week. It was accompanied by a
very sore throat, aches, chills, swollen
gums and lips, and blisters on the inside
of his mouth. Someone told my mom it was
something called viral stomengitis (i'm
not sure on the spelling here) but we
can't find any information on this at all.
Has anyone ever heard of this? He was
absolutely miserable (he's over it now)
and my mom is a little curious, just in
case any of her other kids get it. She
did take him to the doctor, but they
didn't do a whole lot, just tested for
strep throat (which was negative) and told
her to give him tylenol. Any information
on this would be great!
