What Causes Runny Nose And Bumps On Skin In A Child?

Am worried my 3 year old may be infected with the herpes virus from contact with me. I notice he had some red little bumps my is balls and they were very iterated and he also has had a cold for quite a while now no fever just a runny nose no coughing either. Should I get him tested?

Hi...It could be any viral exanthematous illness. But as you quote them as itchy blisters - the possibilities are Hand Foot Mouth disease/ Chicken pox/ any other trivial viral exanthem. I suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral antiallergic like Hydroxyziine or Cetrizine. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
