I know that HFMD is a common thing in school for younger age kids because we may put toys in our mouth,rub our nose and did not wash out hand and etc..Which causes these unwanted germs spreaded all around...
So i'm the unlucky one who caught it because i may sometimes put toys in my mouth...which Mummy have told me several times that i should not do that...
However i guess this is the result for not heeding her advice...
Then Mummy found out that one of my classmate actually had HFMD and is still attending school.
To the doctors here,from what Mummy listen when she bring me to the pediatrics.HFMD patient can still attend school or should i simply say there is no need for quarantine once fever is gone.
Because you would not know when will the sores in the mouth and the tiny spots on the body will be gone.And it is considered a benign case and it's common especially in Summer season.
As long as the affected person is being kept "clean" with precaution measures like sanitising and etc,it should be ok.
HFMD can be contagious by saliva,feces and blister fluid. More information can be obtained from here.
So my first sign of having HFMD which Mummy discover is,mild fever, my loss of appetite then follow by spots on body then sores (ulcer like spot) in my mouth.
Luckily i do not have blisters....
The pain of the sores in my mouth is really making me feel so miserable that Mummy gave me popsicle to numb the pain... Undesired condition to be given a popsicle...i rather be well and Mummy still offer me popsicle.. ;p
