Yesterday we took Emma to the doctor to get her shots, and also to get checked out because she had had a fever and a rash.
This is what the doctor said she had:
Coxsackieviruses and other enteroviruses. Symptoms include a rash that develops after fever or blisters.
not to be confused with
Kawasaki disease. Symptoms include a persistent five–day fever, rash (red lesions or blisters), red eyes, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, swelling fingers and toes, as well as a red tongue, lips and throat.
They sounded so similar... I kept telling people she had Kawasaki... She doesn't she has Coxsackie.
I feel so much better now.
