What are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

I noticed blisters on my hands, feet, and inside my mouth this morning. How can I verify if these are symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease, and what methods should I use?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease first appear as high fever, poor appetite, and lethargy. Further manifestations include sore throat or dry mouth inside the mouth. Subsequently, 1-3 millimeter-sized blisters gradually appear on the oral mucosa. After several hours or up to 24 hours, these blisters turn into ulcers. It is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
