My daughter has been diagnosed with hand-foot-and-mouth disease. I'm concerned about whether I should stay off work to take care of her or if it's SAFE for me to continue my job while she's ill.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral illness that does not respond to antibiotic treatment. This is because antibiotics target bacteria, not viruses.

The best approach to managing the disease is to allow the body to fight off the virus naturally. This typically involves rest and proper hydration.
