Question
My daughter recently contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease and has fully recovered. I allowed her to return to school, but the teacher isolated her in a corner of the classroom because other children were worried about getting infected. She has clearly recovered; can hand, foot, and mouth disease be contagious after recovery?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease does not spread after recovery, so there is no need to worry too much. The school may have done this to ensure the health of other children, which is understandable. However, since every child’s health is important and some children have weaker immunity, they may be more susceptible to infection if there are cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease in school. The above information is for reference only.
