Not really much worse than a bad cold except I had to stay away from everyone so long since it's so contagious. I think it's just luck of the draw more than age? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyones-older-kid-had-hfm#post-2477784 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:22:39 +0000 bushelandapeck 2477784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD was 15 mos when she got it last month and it was worse for her than her 3.5 yo brother. She had them classically on her hands, feet, and in her mouth, and his were more like an all-over body rash but without any in his mouth. It was definitely worse for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyones-older-kid-had-hfm#post-2477754 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 18:38:29 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2477754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 yo hasn't had it yet and I've always dreaded it, but since she's in preschool now I feel it's only a matter of when.</p> <p>And I imagine her brother will get it too.</p> <p>Anyway the thread on how bad it is for adults has me wondering if it's worse for older kids than babies and new toddlers too? Not that it really matters, I have both. </p>
