A member asked:
My infant and toddler both have hand foot & mouth. are they still contagious once the spots appear? also my infant is 9mths old. dangerous or ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hand Foot and Mouth: Hand, foot, and mouth disease is usually not serious. The illness is typically mild, and nearly all patients recover in 7 to 10 days without medical treatment. Complications are uncommon except for dehydration. Hand foot and mouth is contagious roughly for a few days before the symptoms appear untill they start to feel better and the spots and ulcers have healed over, so usually about 7 to 10 days.
