When can a preschooler return to school?

My child has hand, foot, and mouth disease.


1 Answer

He has hand foot and mouth disease. The answer is that he may return to school when the blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth are clearly improving and resolving and he is fever free for 24 hours. If there is any doubt, keep him home an additional day.
