Question

There are small red dots on my child’s hands and feet, but nowhere else. They had a fever the day before the red dots appeared, and it subsided by the third day. Now there are a lot of small red dots on the third day. What’s going on?

Answer

If the child does not have other symptoms like fever and is feeling well, they can be treated at home with oral cooling and detoxification medicine. If they experience discomfort again, they should seek a thorough examination at the hospital promptly.
