My 20 month old has just come down with his third case of hand foot and mouth in 11 months. I have a 4 year old and I’d never even heard of this until the little one got it at the end of last year but it seems to be something that he is really prone to.
I’m just wondering if anyone has experienced this happening quite often and if there is anything I can do to help him build up a better immunity to it. Me and my 4 year old caught it off him the first time but have managed to avoid it ever since which makes me think we are better able to fight it than he is.
Is this just down to his age or am I forever destined to have to deal with this awful illness with him? I feel so sorry for the poor thing!
