What Is HFMD?
4. Blisters
Among the most common symptoms of hand foot and mouth disease is a rash. The rash is not usually itchy, and it can be found on the soles of the feet, the palms of the hands, and sometimes on the patient’s buttocks. While the rash may not be itchy, other symptoms of the disease can be far more uncomfortable.
Such symptoms include blisters located on the gums, on the insides of the patient’s cheeks, and on the tongue. These can be very painful and it can be particularly difficult for young children to bear. These symptoms will generally follow a day or two after other symptoms start to show.
