What Causes Rash On Hands After Fever And Sore Throat?
I have a 9 year old boy who had been sick with fever, sore throat, about three weeks ago. He was strep negative...a week later, he had a rash on hands, feet, and trunk. He had a strawberry looking tongue about 2.5 weeks later. No fever, no sore throat and now only his hands are peeling. Is this related?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I would like to say that, this could be viral infection and this is nothing to worry the condition would be well treated with symptomatic medicine and the best option is Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen and for the rash anti-histamine, be patient, take care and have a nice day.
