What Does 102 Fever And Spots On Legs Indicate?

My aunt's granddaughter has had fever 102 for the last 3 days. She now has swollen ankles, weird spots on her legs from the knees to the ankles and she started feeling cold. She was taken to the doctor today and was told it was allergies. The doctor had an accent and was difficult to understand.

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Those spots might be Petechiae
When associated with fever can be due to low platelet count.
I would suggest you following:
1. To get Hemogram
2. Malaria Antigen
3. To send us photo graph of that area.

See top a good doctor in your area.
If the petechiae are persisting even after fever has subsided and the platelet count is normal an evaluation for Vasculitis is required.

This is my best advice for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
