How do I differentiate HFMD from other rashes or illnesses?

Children with HFMD usually present with symptoms such as fever, sore throat, painful mouth ulcers on the tongue, gums, inside of the cheeks, or back of the throat, and a rash on the hands and feet — most found on the palms and soles. However, symptoms may vary between individuals and at different stages of the disease. The diagnosis of HFMD is usually made clinically, based on the typical appearance and location of the skin manifestations.
