Between one and two days after the onset of fever, painful sores (lesions) may appear in the mouth, throat, or both. A rash (vesicle) may become evident on the hands, feet, mouth, tongue, inside of the cheeks, and occasionally the buttocks (but generally, the rash on the buttocks will be caused by the diarrhea). HFMD usually resolves on its own after 7-10 days.[7] Symptoms of HFMD may include:[5][7][8] Fever Fatigue Malaise Sore throat Painful perioral, intraoral, nasal, or facial lesions, ulcers or blisters Maculopapular rash, followed by vesicular sores with blisters on palms of hand, soles of feet, buttocks, and sometimes on the lips.
