Hi....looks like your kid has got hand foot mouth disease. This is one viral illness among all other anthems which can cause fever followed by rash over palms and soles. It is a self-limiting disorder and itching can be really worrisome. I suggest you use any over the counter antihistamine if you have one with you now. You can use HY Chat Doctor.  This can even cause some peeling of skin in the next 4-6 weeks and do not worry about it. Regards -
