Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that HFMD is contagious, you have to atleast isolate her to 15 days. I advice you to keep watch in this period because there are chances of encephalitis in it. If you find any symptoms related to it, immediately send patient to the ER.
I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,

Wish you a best health at health care magic.
