Confirmed by a doctor who says its severe and infected. Called childcare and they had another child with it on Friday.
Is there something else I should be asking them? He is constantly sick. I'm worried about their cleaning.
HFM is a highly contagious virus. Like most virus, it tends to do the rounds this time of year. My dr also told me that a child under one in care or exposed to other children (siblings in school, or attends playgroups etc) will get sick on average once every six weeks. It is not usually a cause for concern however, as it is usually only a mild illness, which affects them because of their under-developed immune systems, and will in many cases help build their immunity.

sorry to hear your son is so sick though, and I hope he is well soon.
