My 20 month old daughter has had a runny nose for a week and I assumed it was because her 2 yr molars are coming thru the gums. Took her to the dr a few days ago and he said it was nothing to worry about and she doesn't need an antibiotic. Now for the last 2 nights her feet and hands have itched her to the point it has woken her up and she can't go back to sleep cause it's so uncomfortable. Its just her palms and soles. She has a small red looking rash on them which you actually have to bend her hands or feet back to even see it and its not raised, just a little She hasn't taken any medicines that she hasn't taken b4. I red that hand foot and mouth disease doesn't itch and it makes sores in their mouth which she does not have. She eats well and drinks well but she is just uncomfortable and it seems alot worse at night. She hasn't had any different foods that we can think of and we are both exhausted and since she's not sleeping neither am I. Please, someone help me. Her Dr said to bring her in tomorrow if it doesn't get better (they called her in a cream for itching). In the meanwhile I am worrying myself sick about what might be wrong!
Took her back to Dr and they said it may be viral but no one knows! Its worse red, hot and splotchy and her palms and soles feel kind of tight. The itching is only worse. She cant sleep. Dr put her on adarax and an oral and topical steroid but its not helping at all. We know it's not scabies, its not hfm disease and its not contact dermatitis (the dr rules those out). Please someone help me figure out whats wrong with her. She has absolutely no blisters just hot soles and palms with some small red splotching! Im going crazy with no sleep and so is she. I cant stand something bothering my baby. This has been going on for 5 days straight now and all night long she cries and begs me to "scratch it". We have put every cream known to man on it and even the Dr's prescription steroid cream won't fase it. She's going back to the Dr for the third time in the morning but in the meanwhile CAN ANYONE HELP ME, PLEASE!!!!!
