What Causes Rashes And Swelling In The Ankles, Wrists And Knees?
My grandson, who doesn t live nearby, has a severe rash, some blistering and joint swelling in the ankles wrists and knees. No itching. they are at an emergency clinic and awaiting lab results. If it keeps getting worse they will go to the hospital emergency. He hasn t been near poison ivy, has only had tylenol in the last 12 hours. I m just a grandmother trying to help them from across the country without making matters worse. Any suggestions on what the cause is?

What Causes Rashes And Swelling In The Ankles, Wrists And Knees?
Hi, Most probably it will be a simple exanthematous eruption as in hand foot mouth disease. Generally, it will settle by itself. If the lesion persists better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
