Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your 4yr old grandson history of swelling on the feet with skin discoloration that looks like petechie I am suggesting a possible he has developed one of the following disease.
Leukemia
Lymphoma
Autoimmune reaction
Hormone disorder
In view of this please do a
complete blood count
Lymph node biopsy
Coagulation profile
Please see an dermatologist as well as paediatric oncologist specialist for further clinical assessment and adequate drug treatment
I hope this helps Regards
