Symptom #3: Sores in the Mouth
In the early stages of the disease, small red spots can appear on the tongue and mouth. They eventually break open into sores and large amounts of the virus are spread into the mouth and throat. These lesions in the mouth can also develop in other mucous membranes such as the nose.
Other symptoms that are associated with small pox mouth sores are fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, malaise, skin rash, and more.
