Where are you all hanging out that you got HFM so that I can avoid those places?

This is 22:03, symptoms for us came a day or tow after we saw the first couple of spots. They get them in their mouth so it makes it painful for them even to swallow. They cant sleep properly and are just in pain a lot of the time, even with tylenol/ibuprofen. DD was very cranky, clingy and wanted to be held a lot. It was rough.

Sounds miserable. How long did it take for your DD to show symptoms of illness besides the spots? My DD seems perfectly fine but has only had the spots for a couple days. Assuming this is what she has will she start acting ill in a few days?

Chicken Pox and Scarlet Fever rash usually develop on the trunk of the body.

It could be HFM or bug bites. If you are really worried you can take her to urgent care before the pediatrician is in the office on Tuesday.
