hand foot and mouth help

[emmaflossie]

hi everyone looking for some help my step daughter has been diagnosed with hand foot and mouth today .... fab start to the day. I have gone through and used detol on all doors taps handles etc she may have touched and allt he toys that were out yesterday??? any ideas how far back i need to go with the cleaning of the toys? She was playing with her own personal toys in her bedroom saturday are these likely to need doing? i cant seem to find any info on the net

It's more about cleaning hand contact points and places she might have touched or coughed from now on I would say.

It is very contagious but mostly from direct contact... 2 children sucking the same toy or one coughing over the other.

I hope she is feeling better soon x

It is air born much like the common cold so strict hygiene is your best bet although i think it has a 2 week incubation period so is probably too late
