Hands feet & mouth.

I'm pretty positive my son contracted this from his playmate buddy. He has had a fever for 3 days now, he won't stop itching the bottom of his feet. I can see its a rash, is it okay to put cortisone cream on it for the itching? What have you done with child who had this?

Dang this is the 3rd case of this I have heard of within a couple days! Sorry my kids have never had it, but my bestfriends son has it and all they gave her was an antibiotic.

My daughter and every other kid in her room at daycare got it a couple months ago, and she passed it onto me. We just did baths with calamine lotion in it.

He hasn't got blisters. I think I'm safe! (yay!!) thanks for the input ladies, it's greatly appreciated.

my son had this. got it from daycare the 3rd day of going there... it wasn't as bad as it could have been. i heard they get painful blisters in there mouth and everything. my son never had any in the mouth and he just had red spots on his hands. his feet had red spots too, and only 1 blister.

Smurf. My son might have a mild case then. Do you know if you get it once if It could come back?

i'm sure if they come in contact with it they can get it again. my friend actually she works in a daycare and she got it from working in the daycare. anyone can get it, i think it's just harder for adults to get it..
