blisters on hands feet and bum
by teego, Oct 01, 2009 09:48AM
My 2 sons have started with tiny little blisters on their hands feet and bums. My oldest son poped his and they quickly went away but my 9yr old says they are too sore to pop and he has them the worse. His hands are covered, he has a few on his toes and even starting with some under his tongue. He has missed 2 days of school because i can't send him with a strange rash all over him....please help

The symptoms are suggestive of hands, foot and mouth disease which is caused by Coxsackie’s virus. Symptoms of fever, poor appetite and sore throat can appear three to five days after exposure. A blister-like rash on the hands, feet and in the mouth usually develops one to two days after the initial symptoms.
There is no specific treatment. Treatment is aimed at fever control and maintaining good oral hydration. Take adequate fluids throughout the day and acetaminophen if there is any fever.
If the symptoms persist or become severe then please consult a physician. Impetigo has to be ruled out.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
