Blisters of millet size appearing on the oral mucosa, which are very painful; 3. Millet-sized rashes on the palms or soles of the feet, with the buttocks or knees occasionally affected; 4. Inflammation with erythema around the blisters, with less fluid inside the blisters; 5. Some children may also experience symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and headache. The treatment for Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease primarily relies on traditional Chinese medicine. If you visit a hospital, the doctor may give instructions and suggest bed rest.
