What Causes Bright Red Feet And Itchy Ears In A Child?
My 14 year old niece is suffering from bright red feet and ears that are burning and itchy. She was seen in an urgent care facility last night. They drew blood and prescribed prednisone. The doctor suspected juvenile arthritis or a vascular disorder. Any thoughts?

Hi... by what you got I feel that your neice might be having a sort of alergy called angioedema. I do not consider it rheumatoid arthritis as she is having itching over the red ears. More over she is having swollen red feet which could also be due to the same allergic manifestation or angioedema. I suggest you give her available over the counter anti allergic which are licenced in your country. But if she develops respiratory distress or stridor you need to rush her to the nearest Emergency Room.
