A nurse yesterday said she may have hand, foot & mouth but she has not spots on her hands and feet… she suggested paracetamol and lots of water.

Yes for Pyrexia, give him Paracetamol Syrup. Give him lots of water, apply metronidazole skin cream and or consult a general physician, if Rashes increase over. May it can be chicken-pox.
