If your LO has some kind of viral illness, like coxsackie, do you bring them to the doctor (even though you know they won't get antibiotics)? How long do you keep them out of a activities (non necessary ones, like a gym class, not daycare)?

C has had a mild cold for about a week, I noticed a few small bumps on back of hands and wrists, but nothing that seemed to bother her. Then Friday she spiked a fever to 102.3, still feverish in the morning, then thw fever went away but she was just a little crankier than usual.

Yesterday and this morning we noticed more bumps on her wrists and the back of her hands (not palms) and on her butt and the back of her thighs.

My ped friend said it could be coxsackie and just limit her exposure to other kids (via text, she didn't actually look at her). Just trying to figure it when I can have her around other kids, how much I need to worry about her getting them sick, when we can go back to activities, and how much I need to worry about that fact that I'm having a new baby any day...
