What Could Fever In Infants With Red Bumps On Arms And Leg Suggest?
My so, 22 months old came down with a fever yesterday followed by a 100.0 degree fever. I can only assume that this is teething because he has molars coming through. What I cant seem to understand is he has started to get red bumps on his arms, legs, and cheeks, what is going on?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Relying on what you have described, it may be the so called hand-food and mounth syndrome. This syndrome is caused by enterovirus, frequently in little children and appears with temperature, and red bums.
There is nothing to worry about as it will last for only 3 to 5 days. During this time, you can use only paracetamol for the temperature and warm shower for your baby. Hope my answer is helpful to you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Elona Dashi
