The quarantine period for hand foot and mouth depends on the severity of the illness. Generally speaking, it is recommended that those with the illness stay home and away from other people for at least 24 hours after their fever has gone away. It is also recommended to avoid contact with other people for at least seven days after the start of the illness. If a person has hand foot and mouth disease, they should be isolated from other people, and they should avoid sharing any drinks, food, or utensils with other people. In addition, all bedding, clothing, and towels should be washed in hot water after contact with the infected person to avoid spreading the illness.
