Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Fever with water blisters like lesion on body is seen in chickenpox.

This lesions will be more on trunk and less on limbs in their distribution.

But clinical examination is required to diagnose the condition.

Give Tylenol for fever in prescribed dose.

Give soft diet and plenty of oral fluids.

Consult the doctor for physical examination and for specific treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.

From the description you gave it seems to be chicken pox. Get your child to doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
