Question
Is it possible for hand, foot, and mouth disease, which initially only presents with dry mouth and fatigue, to have symptoms such as a bubble on the upper alveolar ridge?
Answer
Based on your description of the symptoms, a bubble on the upper alveolar ridge may be a manifestation of oral ulceration caused by excessive heart fire. It is recommended to cool the heart fire by taking Xie Xin Dao Chi powder in modified doses, and to maintain a diet mainly consisting of light and bland foods, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and consider using antiviral medications for treatment. Drinking plenty of water can help improve the symptoms. For hand, foot, and mouth disease, the main characteristic is the appearance of blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth areas. It is recommended to take ribavirin granules orally for treatment.
