What is the treatment for red spots on the hands, face, and legs in a 3.5-year-old kid?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern. It seems she has developed varicella or hand-foot-and-mouth disease. It becomes challenging to identify without a physical examination sometimes. But still, in both cases, the condition usually subsides after seven to ten days, and only symptomatic treatment is required. I suggest you to follow the instructions mentioned below. Let her take plenty of fluids intake, including water, milk, or fruit juices, along with bed rest. Given her a bath with soap and water daily. To prevent secondary bacterial infection of the skin lesions, I suggest applying T-Bact (topical antibiotic) cream twice a day. You should continue Cetirizine (antihistamine) syrup, but Calamine lotion (topical antipruritic) is not currently required. The skin lesions should start subsiding with crust formation now, as it has already been a week. In addition, I suggest you to consult a pediatrician if the lack of appetite and vomiting persists. Also, antivirals have no role in this late case of varicella viral infection. I hope this has helped you.
