hi..
rash and fever is suggestive of viral fever. if vesicles present in mouth, hand and feet is suggestive of hand-foot mouth disease.
if child is feeding well and active, continue paracetamol to control the fever. if fever persists and activity decrease, consult pediatrician for complete blood count and urine routine.
