Question
Is a bubble on the upper lip an early symptom of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
Considering the symptoms you described, it’s possible that the bubble on the upper lip is a manifestation of excessive heart fire leading to oral ulcers. It is recommended to cool the heart fire by taking modified Xie Xin Dao Chi powder and to maintain a diet low in spicy and irritating foods. In the initial stages, symptoms may include dry mouth and fatigue, which can be treated with antiviral medications. Drinking plenty of water is beneficial for symptom improvement. The primary manifestation is the appearance of blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, and it is suggested to take ribavirin granules orally for treatment.
