My daughter woke up this morning with spots on her lip, tongue and feet. she hasn?t been previously unwell, however a few kids in the area (including one or two who go to same childminder) have also got it. she had a slight temp but is generally well in herself at the moment.
i presume this is the start of Hand, Foot and Mouth. im looking for any advise any1 can give me and what to expect.
Until now i had never heard of this illness, i cant remember it being around when i was a child but apparently it is a 'common childhood illness'.
i hope i wont have to take to long off work but how long are they contagious for?
ANY ADVISE ON THIS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED :)
