Went to hospital on Sunday I have 5 other kids at home am i able to send them too school as they have not got it, and i have a couple of pregnant friends that come to visit am i right to tell them not too visit at the moment ? only because 1 of them won't take no for an answer and i would hate for her to get sick
Hello, Thanks for the query. Hand foot and mouth disease is a viral disease and hence contagious. You did an excellent job by asking others not to visit you. Dont worry it is a self limiting condition and does not require any treatment. soon your child will be fine.
