Hand foot and mouth disease

2017-10-10 00:17:14
Can two children with the same strain of hand foot and mouth reinfect each other with the virus? My 3 year old cousin gave my 4 year old hand foot and mouth at a play date last week. They are both still recovering. Is it safe to have them around each other without them getting sicker or reinfected?
