HFMD
My little boy has suddenly came down with HFMD today, he is due to see his nan tomorrow. Is it still safe for her to come round or do I cancel? Also any advice regarding HFMD treatments greatly welcomed, my boy is really uncomfortable! X

I herd it’s really contagious so I would maybe cancel. One of my friends brought some calamine lotion, which helped her lo x
the doctor prescribed a mouth spray and antihistamines which helped a little. I coated my daughter with sudocrem before bed to soothe the itching. hope she gets better soon, I would postpone as it's contagious, my daughter passed jt to me!
@Jen @St at what point do I know to stop isolation? I did cancel xx
My lo hasn’t had it himself as of yet, although if it’s any help the nhs website states ‘You can start spreading it from a few days before you have any symptoms, but you're most likely to spread it to others in the first 5 days after symptoms start.’ X
