Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Fever, Feet Pain, Toenails Cyanosis And Leg Coldness?
my son is 6 years old, He has been suffering from an on and off fever for 3 days but has not been back for 2 days, his feet are huting him to walk since last noght I checked them this morning and his toe nails have a blue tint and his legs are very cold from the knees down.
Is having any other symptoms like cough, loose stools or vomiting?
Fever indicates an infection somewhere in the body. Since his legs are cold and blue (suggests poor peripheral circulation with peripheral cyanosis), there is high chance that he is dehydrated and having low blood pressure, either from poor oral intake or as a part of infection.
Kindly take him to doctor without delay, as we need urgent correction of dehydration to avoid further complications. Meanwhile, try to give frequent sips of fluids like salted rice water or ORS solution.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
