Herpa-what?

Ugh. The Sick has visited us yet again.
Actually, just Jaysen, poor kid.

The fever didn't come back, but apparently a high fever (103-104) can be a precursor to-
Hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Doesn't that just sound lovely?

Well it gets better.

Apparently, if you only have HFMD in the throat, it's called-
Herpangina.
Oh yes.
And I wasn't aware Jaysen even had a "gina".

And if that's not enough,
HFMD (and herpangina) is caused by the-
Coxsackie virus.

Oh good god, how did I make it through this doctor appointment without pissing myself?

For real? Herpangina? Coxsackie?
You've got to be kidding me.
Some medical person out there had a Freudian fun time naming those.

And for the record?
Kids are gross.
