Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 have any of the Drs run blood tests ?? herpes viruses like EBV or CMV ? I would almost say Hand/foot and mouth as my son had almost the same symptoms just 2 wks ago (only his fever last one day and then the spots appeared on his hands/feet then a rash over his entire body. The rash was dry looking like ezema with no heads). He was fine after a week. His Ped said spots/rash on hands and feet indicated a virus was at work. HFM is a coxsackie virus and usually appears in the fall doris land Foland wrote: > well the rash continues and is spreading-been to three doctors now-one said allergy -gave us zyrtec-no results rash continues-one said scarlet fever-gave us ammocillian-rash continues-now the first doctor still insists allergy and wants to put him on atarax and pedipred-how can I find out gfcf on these? I dont hink I am going to give the steroid-he still has a fever off and on and steroids dont make sense during infection{especially if doctor number two is right-then I would just be supressing his immune system] I hate going to doctors and now have been to three-plus trying natural methods at home. Let me run down what has happened in case anyone has had this happen and can shed some light.8 days ago cold symptoms for two days,low grade fever. 6 days ago hot red itchy palms started,next morning rash to groin area,and little spots all over various areas.Rash looks like little pimples and only areas that itch were hands.5 days ago it also made his feet itch and they became hot and red. The itch is mostly at night.Fever came back for one day and we had some vomiting and loose BM. No one is sleeping-I have not been able to work-and he has missed his therapy. Now I must worry about gfcf and meds and the pharmacy cant give me that information because he does not know. Which is why I turned here again for help and guess I rambeled on a bit-but it has been a very long 8 days-sorry.f > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
