Hand Foot and Mouth

Question

Hand Foot and Mouth

Asked for Female, 31 Years

I discovered symptoms for hand foot and mouth on my 3yr old daughter on Friday 10th November. Ulcers in mouth, loss of appetite, sore throat, blisters on hand. She didn't eat for 4 days. Developed a spotty rash on bottom and legs/wrists. Her symptoms have now all cleared. She is 'back to normal'. All she has left is two or three flat red marks where blisters had been on her hand. When is it okay for her to leave the house? More importantly, be around other Childeren and babies?
