What Causes Sore Throat, Itchy Rashes On Palms With Fever?
my 13 yr old son had a sore throat on Thursday then a fever of 101.2 on Friday and got a really painful and itchy rash on his palms of his hands on Saturday. I looked up hand foot and mouth disease but it says that the rash isn't itchy. He is scratching his hands like crazy. What do you think this is?
