Question
A rash has appeared on the lower lip, accompanied by mild pain and itching. There are also painful areas on the tongue and inside the nose. Is this a symptom of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Based on your condition description and photos, an initial judgment suggests you may have simple herpes. Simple herpes is a viral skin and mucous membrane disease. It is recommended that you rest well, avoid overexertion and catching a cold. You can use acyclovir ointment for external application. If a child shows symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents should immediately take the child to the doctor, avoid using unverified medications, and provide the child with proper care and attention to assist in timely treatment.
