Patient's question:
Recently, due to work reasons, I haven't been eating or drinking well, and I often work overtime and stay up late until midnight. As a result, my body has been experiencing some signs of "internal heat" (). I've noticed ulcers on my lips and pain in my tongue. Sometimes, even talking hurts, and the medication I've taken hasn't been very effective. I want to ask if mouth ulcers are related to hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
This is not necessarily the case, because the causes of oral ulcers are multifaceted. In the case of hand, foot, and mouth disease, he will also have a series of symptoms, not only ulcers on the oral surface but also oral ulcers. It is also possible to have a high fever. In other cases, it is recommended that you first take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for examination. If it is just a simple oral ulcer, there is no need to worry. You only need to give the baby a mouth rinse.
