Our doctor said to keep him home for the week. Day care was fine with him coming back after 24 hours fever free, but I just couldn't send him in looking like that. I wouldn't be happy to see another kid covered in blisters in his class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-go-back-to-daycare-after-hfm#post-1909137 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:31:21 +0000 Adira 1909137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boheme: Xander didn't have a fever or the blisters in his mouth. And the blisters on the rest of him really just seemed to be his eczema flaring up - his eczema was really bad all over his body - there was nothing to really indicating that it was specifically HFM. Until I got it! And then I realized that that's what Xander must've had and he gave it to me! I feel bad if he gave it to any of the other kids in daycare, though that's where he must've picked it up, so someone there already had it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-go-back-to-daycare-after-hfm#post-1909120 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:25:31 +0000 Boheme 1909120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: That happened to a friend of mine! Her LO only had blisters in her mouth/throat, and all signs pointed to teething since no other LOs had it - didn't want to eat much, low grade fever, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-go-back-to-daycare-after-hfm#post-1909104 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:21:37 +0000 autumnlove 1909104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Went home early from daycare on Thursday and she went back the following Wednesday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-go-back-to-daycare-after-hfm#post-1909102 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:20:40 +0000 Adira 1909102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wish I had some advice for you. Xander continued to go to daycare the entire time he had HFM because we didn't realize he had it until a few weeks later when <b>I</b> was diagnosed with it. I hope your LO can go back soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-go-back-to-daycare-after-hfm#post-1909094 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:18:16 +0000 Mamaof2 1909094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>once the blisters scabbed over </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-go-back-to-daycare-after-hfm#post-1909085 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:16:16 +0000 Boheme 1909085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS came down with HFM a week ago, and I'm not sure when to send him back to daycare. He has been fever free since Friday night/Saturday morning. Our ped said Wednesday, but I discovered two intact blisters on his heels so I'm thinking of keeping him out til next Monday. What would you do?</p> <p>When did you send your LO back after HFM? </p>
