Suggest Treatment For Fever And Itchy Sore Spots On The Feet And Hands

My son is 16. He had a fever for about 24 hours. The next day he began developing itchy sore spots on his feet and hands, although his feet bother him the most. Even when he s not putting pressure on them, they feel like pins and needles constantly pricking him - especially his feet.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you son have symptoms of fever and itchy sore spots on the feet and hands which is probably due to viral infection which is lowering down your immunity and making you prone for infection. It could be due to allergic reactions and contact dermatitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take combination of antiviral drug along with anti-inflammatory drug. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist/ dermatologist once and get some routine blood investigation and skin patch test done. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will boost immunity. Apply wet cold sheets on your head to lower down body temperature. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
