HFMD spreads through respiratory droplets and children are prone more than once. Maintain hand hygiene , frequent washing and make sure your son is well hydrated. Avoid close contact, clean toys which they share.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is highly contagious and can still spread to your daughter. She is only immune to the specific strain she had previously, meaning a new strain can cause reinfection. Fortunately, older children usually have stronger defenses and experience much milder symptoms than a two-year-old. To protect her, practice strict handwashing, sanitize shared toys, and prevent the children from sharing utensils. Keep a close watch for signs like a fever or mouth sores, and consult a pediatrician for guidance.
