The incubation period is 3-5 days, with low fever, general discomfort, abdominal pain and other precursors. Within 1-2 days, painful miliary to mung bean sized blisters appeared in the oral cavity, pharynx, soft palate, buccal mucosa, tongue and gingiva, surrounded by a red halo, which broke into small ulcers. Due to pain, they often salivated and refused to eat.

At the same time, skin rashes also appeared in the hands and feet. There were varying numbers of blisters on the dorsal side of the hands and feet, on the dorsal edge of the fingers (toes), around the nails, and on the palms and soles. In addition to the mouth of the hands and feet, they can also be seen near the buttocks and anus, and occasionally on the trunk and limbs. After a few days, they dried up and subsided.
