Suggest Treatment For Rashes And Blisters Of A 8 Year Old
We are in Florida. Our 8 year old daughter have a couple o rashes on her leg, looks like bug bites. Further she has a blister clear to light yellow, size of top of my tum. She developed this 1.5 days ago while in Florida. Right now a bit of fever as well. What should we do. Worried!
Hi...I feel by what you quote he should be having a - Hand Foot Mouth disease. This is one viral illness among all other exanthemas which can cause fever followed by rash over palms and soles. It is a self-limiting disorder and itching can be really worrisome. I suggest you use any over the counter antihistamine if you have one with you now. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose (Maximum 10mg) every 6th to 8th hourly for 7 days. This can even cause some peeling of skin in the next 4-6 weeks and do not worry about it. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
