Patient's question:
Recently, due to work reasons, I haven't been eating or drinking well, and I often work overtime until late at night. As a result, my body has been experiencing some "internal heat" recently. There are ulcers on my lips, and my tongue is also very painful. Sometimes, even talking hurts, and the medication I took hasn't been very effective. I want to ask if oral 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, and in the case of hand, foot, and mouth disease, he will also have a series of symptoms, not only ulcers on the surface of the mouth, 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.
