Question
Red dots have appeared on my child’s palms and soles, without fever, and they are itchy. Two weeks ago, they experienced abdominal pain, with boils on the corners of the mouth and inside the nostrils, with yellowish discharge from the nose. They visited the pediatric department of a traditional Chinese medicine college and improved after taking Chinese medicine. Tonight, after school at 8 PM, they only wore a sweater and pants due to the heat. Later, they found their feet were itchy, and red dots had appeared on their palms. How were the past treatments and their effects? Are there any allergies or hereditary medical histories? What kind of help is needed? Could this be measles or rubella? Red dots on the hands might also indicate psoriasis; it could also be due to a deficiency of B vitamins.
Answer
