What Are The Itchy Red Bumps On My Daughter's Feet And Palms?
Hi, I gave zentel to my 4 year old daughter for deworming. After one day she had high fever and a day after red bumps on her feer and palm, few on legs and bum as well. The bumps are very very itchy and red. Is this a reaction to the medicine, or some other skin condition. What is the treatment usually? Thanks.
Hi...I feel by what you quote he should be having a - Hand Foot Mouth disease. This is one viral illness among all other exanthemas which can cause fever followed by rash over palms and soles. It is a self-limiting disorder and itching can be really worrisome. I suggest you use any over the counter antihistamine if you have one with you now. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose (Maximum 10mg) every 6th to 8th hourly for 7 days. This can even cause some peeling of skin in the next 4-6 weeks and do not worry about it. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
