Does Hand, Foot And Mouth Disease Re Occur?
I want to know if you have had hand,foot& mouth in the past can you be reinfected? What is norovirus? I work at the school and my daughter had a tonsillectomy today so I am thinking I need to keep her home for quite awhile because of all the infectious viruses going around.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
HFMD (hand foot mouth disease) may reappear. No need to worry as it is a self limiting condition and resolve with conservative measures. Chances for complications are unlikely. Noro virus is a virus which can cause gastroenteritis in kids characterised by fever, vomiting and loose stools.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
