Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common viral illness that mainly affects infants and children under the age of 5. It is caused by a group of viruses, including the coxsackievirus A16.

Signs and Symptoms of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease

HFMD is usually characterized by fever, sore throat, and small blisters or sores in the mouth. The rash may also appear on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and buttocks. Other symptoms may include headache, lack of appetite, and fatigue.

Risk Factors for Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease

Anyone can get HFMD, but it is more common in children under 5 years old. It is also more common in areas where there is a high population density, such as daycare centers, schools, and other places where children gather.

Can I Go to Work if My Kid Has Hand Foot and Mouth?

If your child has HFMD, it is important to keep them home from school or daycare to help stop the spread of the disease. It is also important to keep them away from other people to avoid them spreading the virus.

However, if your child does not have any symptoms, and if you are able to provide the necessary care for them at home, it is possible for you to go to work. It is important to stay in close contact with your doctor and your child's daycare center or school so that they can provide updates on the situation.
