There is usually low grade fever, with small pink blisters 2 - 3 mm in diameter on palms and soles. There are usually only a few, but there may be many. There may be small lesions in the back of the throat. And, there are often small blister-like lesions on the buttocks, too.
Pardon my bias, but Google and other search engines are not a substitute for good medical care.

Phone NHS Direct - 0845 46 47, especially if she gets the blisters in her mouth!

Sounds like it. Does she have any in her mouth? In any case, the virus is self-limiting so there's no treatment, just alleviate symptoms with Calpol.

Sounds strange, she needs to have a check-up with the doctor, meanwhile you could ask at a 24hour chemist pharmacists have a very good knowledge of symptoms,
