Hand foot and mouth disease.

[Cashewnutty1962]

Hi all, my granddaughter has this. I also saw children with severe bouts before I retired in December. I know if I get infected it may not be good. I’m presently caring for my granddaughter. I’m not one to keep touching my face, eyes or mouth in any case and am fastidious about washing my hands.

I will survive😂

Good luck with that - they are contagious for ages!! Hand washing, hand washing, more hand washing. How old is she?

20 months. Her dad fetched her from nursery this morning. Apparently another child had it last week but the parents kept it to themselves🙄

Hope they get it!!! So irresponsible.

[Cashewnutty1962 in reply to PMRpro]

Very irresponsible indeed.. grandson aged 7 years now just sent home from school with a temperature!!!

My grandson had it a few weeks ago, apparently kids can go to school with it if they feel well enough …. (He’s only 2 so not at school!)

And spread it ALL round the class ...
