Patient's question:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease in its early stages primarily manifests as upper respiratory tract cold symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, and throat ulcers. It then gradually reappears as skin blisters around the bones and joints. In severe cases, neurological symptoms may occur, such as anorexia and confusion. Treatment focuses on antiviral, heat-clearing, detoxification, and symptomatic therapies. For severe patients, active treatment is necessary to prevent complications such as encephalitis caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease.
