Pediatrician,  's  Response
High fever with cold extremities indicates a condition called shock which may be serious and caused due to certain bacterial infections. The purple color of fingernails indicates cyanosis and is equally concerning. It is a concerning situation and you should definitely rush her to the ER and get her assessed and treated urgently.
