My 15 month old has hand foot and mouth disease. Think he picked it up at daycare. He's fussy with food and pretty cranky. And he's got a rash all over his body. Went to doc last night. Does anyone know how long it takes to clear up? thanks

My daughter had this when she was a similar age. Once the blisters pop then they aren't contagious anymore. This can take up to a week depending on how severe the HFM is. But apparently it an live in their poo for 3 weeks I think so just be extra cautious to clean your hands after change time. Hope it passes quickly for your wee one!
