What are signs of hand, foot, and mouth disease?

A few: Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth, and a skin rash. This is caused by a virus, affects younger children usually and most cases are self-limiting but see a pediatrician for supportive care guidelines, especially if dehydration develop.

Fever/spots/pain: Hfm varies more in intensity than anything. Some kids can have it & run a brief temperature & never show other symptoms. Some have fever, localized spots on their wrists & nothing else. Some have terrible mouth sores, spots on wrists/forearms/legs feet & around the bottom & have cramping & loose stools. So fever, loose stools & cramps, amount & location of blisters seem to be the main variables.
