What Could Be The Cause Of Thick Green Mucus From Nose, Red Spots On Face And Yellowness On Nails?

2 yr old had hand foot and mouth two months ago. At the end of its course her fingers and toes peeled. Now she has pinpoint flat red dots around eyes and cheeks. The runny nose with thick green mucous has also returned. It also looks like she greeting new nails on her fingers and the old nails are raised and yellowish. No fever. Just fussy. Is this all part of the same virus or something new and is the peeling and new nails typical of hand foot and mouth?

Greetings of the day

This peeling is sometimes seen in hand and foot disease or any chronic infection where there is malnutrition.
There is no cause for concern.
