What Is The Cure For Peeling Of Finger Tips In A 6 Year Old?

My 6 yr old daughter 3weeks ago was unwell for one week with a temperature and then a very sore ear ( very unlike her as she usually recovers within a few days with paracetamol). Watery fluid came out of her ear. She was given antibiotics and within a few days recovered completely. However now she has peeling fingertips which seems to be getting worse. I have treated with a little clotimazole as today is Sunday and will hopefully get an appointment with the doctors tomorrow. Thank you

Hai..probably you kid is recovering from an ear infection called otitis media with effusion. However I would like to know the duration of fever/ was it associated with rash or pain abdomen or any redness of lips / strawberry appearance of tongue or if any bloods were done. I would also like to get a Echo done for the heart as any infection either viral or bacterial is known to cause a condition called Kawasaki disease....where skin peeling of fingertips is common. Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my reply, kindly rate it.
