What to Expect If Your Child has Hand, Feet and Mouth Disease
Despite being painful, hand, foot, and mouth illness rarely has long-term consequences. With modest care, the majority of youngsters recover in less than two weeks. Multiple cases of hand, foot, and mouth illness are conceivable.
Most children with hand, foot and mouth disease will recover on their own within seven to 10 days.
Your child can return to school or daycare when:
- They feel well enough to participate.
- Their blisters have dried up.
- They don’t have a fever.
If you’re not sure if your child should return, ask their pediatrician.
