Children with hand food and mouth disease usually have no appetite to eat because of the sores in their mouth and they are often in major discomfort.

Take them out of school and separate them from other kids to prevent further infection. Make sure they get ample rest, lots of fluids, take their medication and most importantly, ensure they eat. I know it's hard for them to eat but it's important they eat to keep their strength up. Prepare bland, soupy foods that are easy on their sore mouths.
