Hand Foot and Mouth Question
HFM question. Do the spots always show up only on feet and hands (and of course face)? I have a little girl with red spots on her face, but the others are on her upper thigh and knees. I just assumed they were some type of bites, but now I’m not sure since the spots on her face seemed to come up over the morning. I didn’t think to check her feet before nap time, but will check. Just wanted info. so i can hopefully exclude HFM.

I’d simply exclude for unknown rash until the child’s dr has officially diagnosed.

After I asked this question here, she started have red, swollen, hot to the touch joints (knees, elbows, and ankles), and more spots. Mom took her to the doctor and he said it is an allergic reaction to the amoxicillan she started taking last week. I was shocked! I dont' think I have ever heard of a reaction being so delayed.

I have seen some reactions to medicine show up a week later and even with the last dose taken .
