Should I Be Concerned For The Clammed Skin In A 2 Year Old Having Cold, Ear Infection And Cough?
My 2 year old has been sick with a cold, and ear infection and a cough. He is taking amoxil as prescribed by his doctor, which he has taken before. His skin is mottled, and his feet and hands have been clammy. He seems to be feeling better as he is full of energy. He also hasn't had much of an appetite. Is his mottled skin anything to be concerned with?

since baby is sick looking with mottling ,it may suggests clinical deterioration with poor peripheral circulation which may be due to shock or may be child is cold.So baby should immediately be consulted or taken to emergency department for assessment of vitals(HR,RR,urine output),and if needed should be admitted.thank you.
