Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Are they having fever also? Can you send a picture of the lesion? Blisters on hands and feet, especially when both are affected, are likely to be from a viral illness. This can happen in conditions like HFMD (hand foot mouth disease). This just needs supportive measures with antihistamines to relieve itching and paracetamol for fever or pain if any.

I used to give antihistamines like levocetirizine or hydroxyzine syrup for 3-5 days. Applying calamine lotion can soothe the area. Take them to a pediatrician if lesions are not getting better in 3 days, or they develops high grade fever with lethargy and poor feeding.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
