Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children

Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease, also known as hand, foot, and mouth syndrome, is characterized by the appearance of blisters or ulcers on the hands, feet, and oral mucosa as its main clinical features. It can be transmitted through various routes, including the mouth, hands, airborne droplets, as well as contaminated water sources and food. If children with this disease do not receive timely treatment, they are highly prone to complications such as encephalitis and myocarditis.
Clinical symptoms In the early stages of the illness, children commonly exhibit symptoms similar to a cold, with fever lasting for about 4 to 5 days. Numerous small blisters also appear on the child's palms, soles, and inside the mouth.
