Hand, foot, and mouth disease initial symptoms

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Lightly infected patients in the early stage may have symptoms similar to upper respiratory tract infections, such as coughing, runny nose, and drooling. Some children may also experience nausea and vomiting. After 1-2 days of fever, rashes begin to appear, usually on the hands, feet, and buttocks, or on the oral mucosa as blisters. Some children may not have a fever and only show rashes or blisters on the hands, feet, and buttocks, or herpangina, with milder symptoms.
