My son contracted HFMD 2 weeks ago and now he has recovered. Do we have to bring him to the same doctor who diagnosed him? Can we bring him to cheaper alternative like polyclinic or normal clinic?

I thought if you bring your child back to the same clinic, the doc will just charge you the review rate not the full consultation rate?

My ds1 is 5 this yr, we bought his a 6inch mattress to put on the floor next to our bed to sleep when he was 10 months old. Now that we have our own house, he share his room with his baby brother. We just shift ds2 from our master bedroom to his brother room last month when he was only 6 months old.

I just got a bunk bed/ warerobe/ table set for my 5 year old ds 2 months ago.

We feel it’s just nice and the right time to buy him all these since we just shift into our new house and he’s old enough to have his own room and furniture. We plan to have all these for him cos we want to provide a comfortable and "stable " environment for him and let him take ownership of his own things.

My ds1 is in K1 this year, he had 2 hfmd. The first when he had was at 21 months old and the following one was just less than a year apart from the 1st. He passed the hfmd to me and my hubby for the 1st time. Both of them had only mild symptoms, while i had the worse experience. So parents be cautious, although hfmd is childhood dieases but adult might just get it too. I believe the 2 hfmd he caught were those common strains…i can’t imagine if he gets it for the 3rd time, definitely not the weak strain anymore.
