Question
What are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
The specific symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease manifest first as a high fever, accompanied by headache, cough, runny nose, and persistent body temperature. Particularly in pediatric patients, their mouths may form ulcers with strong pain and discomfort. One to two days after developing oral herpes, rashes can be seen on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and buttocks of the affected children, with the soles of the feet being most common. A few severe cases may trigger complications such as myocarditis and encephalitis.
