Specializes in Pediatrics

See below: Have the child seen by her pediatrician. Lesions and swelling of the fingers/hands can be due to viruses like coxsackie (hand, foot, mouth disease), or parvovirus, or the later manifestations of kawasaki's disease, which can be very serious. Also, bacterial infections or severe allergic reactions could be the cause. Again, see your doc asap.
