Suffering From Headaches, Stiff Neck. Baby Having Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease. Possible Reason?
I am 57 years female whom has been babysitting a 15 month old boy . He developed what looked like a diaper rash on Wednesday morning.. Today he had small bumps on his ankles, under his arms, side of his trunk pretty much broke out all over. The doctor took a look at him and stated hand & foot & mouth disease. I have had a head ach for a few days now comes and goes. I never get head achs also my neck has been stiff..my thinking was I have been rocking the baby at naps times and I am not sitting in the rocker to good.. What do you think??
