[quote=Anonymous]Went through our center in June. DS was lucky and didn't get sores in his mouth and never ran a fever. His hands and feet were total wrecks but it didn't seem to bother him. We used Aveeno baby oatmeal baths daily to help calm the sores. His hands and feet started peeling badly within a week or two. He also lost two fingernails and two toenails, but that didn't happen until the past couple of weeks, so about 1.5-2 months after. As for avoiding it yourself, we washed our hands or used hand sanitizer nonstop. We also kept him in footie pajamas to limit the amount of exposed sores. While it is less common for adults and older kids to get it, it is not rare like some have suggested. Like chicken pox, it also tends to be worse the older you are when you get it. I got it when I was about 10 and it is to this day the sickest I ever was 102 fever that wouldn't break, incredible pain from the sores such that I was unable to eat, drink, or even swallow.[/quote]
