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

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

After the child is infected with enterovirus, it usually starts with fever, typically around 38°C. Dispersed, rice-grain-sized vesicles appear on the oral mucosa, causing significant pain; rice-grain-sized vesicles also appear on the palms or soles, and the buttocks may be affected. The vesicles are surrounded by inflammatory erythema, with little fluid inside.
