Patient's question:
The baby has several blisters on their wrists and ankles. At first, we thought it was a burn, accompanied by a low fever, and they were reluctant to eat. There are also a few blisters inside their mouth. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the diagnosis was hand, foot, and mouth disease. What are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
The specific symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease first manifest as high fever, accompanied by symptoms such as headache, cough, and runny nose, with the temperature persistently remaining high. Especially in young children, their mouths may develop ulcers, causing severe pain and other discomforts. After 1-2 days of oral herpes, skin maculopapular rashes can be seen on the palms, soles, and buttocks of the affected children, with the soles being the most affected. In a small number of severe cases, myocarditis and encephalitis may occur.
