Has anyone’s kids ever gotten hands foot mouth?

@liz41395, thank you

Ya. It’s weird that adults have been getting it, but the way we eat and stuff now a day out immune systems aren’t so great. Also for a few weeks after the first week it’s contagious still in the spit snot and poop so make sure you are washing hands and try to keep her from kissing biting and licking anyone. And obviously just wash your hands a lot especially after changing a poopy diaper. I know it’s a long lonely week at home, but soon it’ll be just a memory! It’ll pass

@liz41395, but I’ll definitely keep that in mind.!

@liz41395, thank you.!

Oh no really I the dr. @ the hospital told me it’s rare to be contagious in adult but it’s highly contagious in children under 10 especially under 5. For the first 7 days .!

@blessedmomof4, for a week. Her doctor said after a week if there is no fever and her blisters aren’t open she can be around other kids. 7-10 days is what it usually lasts. A lot of adults are getting it lately so be on the look out

@liz41395, how long did it take for your daughter to get over it & how long did u keep her away from other kids?

Yes

@ek620, thank you.! I feel so bad for her I know it’s nothing I did or didn’t do but as a mom I just feel so awful

@liz41395, that’s how my daughter is she’s fine all through out the day just bed time she’s fussy

Yes, lots of fluids & popsicles if her throat is sore. A lot of kids won’t want to eat much if they have sores in their throat so making sure they get fluids is important. Other than that, just try to keep her comfortable & you can alternate Tylenol and Motrin.

Just Tylenol/Motrin and love. I got lucky and she didn’t seem like she was in a lot of pain except at bed time

@liz41395, what did u do to help her? Mine just started yesterday

Yes my daughter just got over it

Yes when my daughter went to daycare a few years ago
