Patient's question:
Today morning I found blisters on my hands, feet, and inside my mouth. Now I notice there are more. What kind of help do I need: I want to ask the doctor, if I go to the hospital, what measures will the doctor take? Do I need to be hospitalized?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease first appear as low fever, poor appetite, and lethargy. Further manifestations include sore throat or dry mouth inside the mouth. Then, small blisters of 1-3 millimeters in size gradually appear on the oral mucosa. Within a few hours or up to 24 hours, these blisters turn into ulcers. It is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection.
