How can i keep my 4yr old comfortable while he has coxsackie ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin for pain and fever. Lots of fluids. If he has a really sore throat, talk with his doctor about magic swizzle.

Need more info: What symptoms are causing the discomfort? If he has hand foot mouth then homeopathic pulsatilla helps a lot. Keeping fever down helps too. Staying hydrated is important. Tlc goes a long way to keep a child comfortable.
