A member asked:
When is a child able to return to daycare if he caught hand, foot, and mouth disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 days: Hand foot and mouth is a viral illness often without fever. Since there is no fever to help decide about the contagious period usually a few days after the start of the rash is sufficient enough time to allow the child to return to normal activity.
