Is it ok to touch the hfmd sores or do they hurt the baby? My son has it all over his body. Can I hold his hand and pat him to sleep or will I be aggravating it?

Agree with Hui Qun. You can pat him to sleep of cause, but do not touch your face afterwards and wash your handa thoroughly to prevent yourself from catching it as well. Please stay hydrated & healthy. It must be a difficult period for you so stay strong! Hope your little son feels better soon.
