HI...by what you quote, I feel it could be any viral exanthematous illness. But as you quote them as itchy blisters - the possibilities are Hand Foot Mouth disease/ Chicken pox/ any other trivial viral exanthema. I suggest you use oral ant allergic like Hydroxyzine or Cetirizine. Meanwhile for his cough you can give some over the counter anti cough medications licensed in your country. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
