What Causes Swollen Cold Blue Colored Hands And Feet?

my 8 month old has a consistent temp of 104 since last night. tylenol and ibuprofen bring it down for a couple of hours, but it goes back up. his hands and feet are very cold and slightly blue and swollen. his body is speckled - as when one is cold. he is very lethargic; fussy and not sleeping well. He will drink pedialite and is having wet diapers. Should I take him in to ER?

Hi...these are signs of shock and I suggest you take him to the nearest emergency room immediately. He requires emergency care and immediate assessment.
