What Causes Blistery Blotches Under Eyes, Fever And Diarrhea?

my 14 month old grandson has an area under both eyes that are almost tear drop shaped with raised blotches that appear blistery. he woke up like this. my son thought because he threw such a fit wanting to be held and not wanting to eat his breakfast was what caused this. also, last night when I picked him up from daycare I noticed on his left forearm dark purple blotches that apper as though someone dotted him with a marker. he had a slight fever on sunday when I watched him and sudden diarrhea with immediate diaper rash. I cleared the diaper rash but he has not had much of an appetite for two days (sunday and monday).

Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi,
Welcome to this forum.
Can understand your concerns.

Sudden appearance of fever, loose tools, and blistering under the eyes could be due to food poisoning, acute gastroenteritis.

Food poisoning usually presents like this in which the child has fever, loose stools and may develop allergic Rash.

In acute gastroenteritis, there is infection at the level of intestine which results in loose stools followed by fever.

In my opinion, your child most probably needs antibiotic like ofloxacin for a period of 3 days. Child should also be given adequate liquid diet so that dehydration does not occur.

And examination by pediatrician is a must. Sims, it is usually seen that cases of food poisoning worsen over a short period of time.

I hope this will help you.
Take care.

Regards,
Dr Deepak Patel
