She have to stay home as hfmd is very contagious. Important you have to hydrate her well. If possible, get some oral gel, it's good for them as it helps to numb their usclers so they could drink and eat.

Stay home and sanitise everything. If you have a washing machine with hot water, dump it all in and wash at 60 degrees. Meanwhile, baby has to be kept hydrated.

Sanitised the house esp her toys. Wash all fabrics, her bedsheet and pillow bolster cases, soft toys etc.

Nothing much just ensure that she eats ok, and sanitize the house.
