What Causes Fever, Hands And Feet Rash With Lumps Pain?

Hi have two kids a 3 years old one and a two years old. My 3 years old one started on Wednesday this past week with 104.5 fever I gave him Tylenol and used suppositories for the fever but did not help him at all. I took him to the doctor and she said is was a common cold. When we got home he started to get rush on his hands and feet follow by bumps. He cannot drink or eat because it is painful. Now my 2 years old one has the same condition everything started as a cold (runny nose, and little caught) now he got rush all over his body. I am scare and do not know what to do

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear thanks for the query.
By your description it seems that both the kids need immediate medical attention.
Acute respiratory infection (ARI) causing inability to eat or drink needs medical attention as it may be Diphtheria. As far as rashes are concerned the doctor will have to look what kind of rash it is. Measles starts on face normally, with high grade fever and ARI
But at this stage I will prefer if you take kids to a pediatrician or medical person ASAP.
I find this answer helpful
