Today J aged 18 months came to me and mum told me he was a bit off colour and she'd given him Calpol at 8am. He was fine with me and we went to playgroup as normal. When we got there at 9.30 I noticed blisters around his mouth - I checked his hands and feet and they were clear. Up to 11am quite a few more blisters around his mouth appeared.
At 1pm he woke from his sleep and was very upset - i gave more calpol and within 20 minutes he was Ok again.
When I changed his nappy at 2pm I noticed spots around his bottom and top of the legs, again hands and feet are still clear of spots.
I mentioned to mum that i thought it might be hand foot and mouth? Mum took him to the DRs after work and DR has told her it might be a bacterial infection, he has got cream and antibiotics.
Do I have to exclude him, and if so for how long?
