What Causes Red Discolouration On The Cheeks Of A Child?
My 5 year old niece has super red cheeks that are hot to the touch and her eyes are puffy underneath. She has no other symptoms. I noticed Sunday. Her mom said she started with it on Saturday. This morning it wasn t that bad but she came home from school again with them. Her hands and feet look fine, her tongue looks fine, she doesn t have a fever, but Im kind of looking for something because she doesn t have this kind of complexion.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It maybe a mild viral illness, this can cause these types of symptoms to occur in children.
It may be a viral exanthem, which is a benign (not dangerous) rash that occurs in viral illnesses.
You can monitor to see if any other symptoms occur.
I hope this helps
