What Causes Rash On Hands, Knees And Elbows After Fever?
My grandson, 20 months old ran a low grade fever with cough and congestion. Fever is gone but he has developed a rash on his hands, knees and elbows. This iis the second time this has happened. The first time the doctor said it was not hoof and mouth disease. It disappeared on it s own. What is this?
