Infant Having Fever. Antibiotics Given For The Redness In The Ears. Rashes On The Tummy And Back. Allergic Reaction?
hi, my 14 months old started with high temperature (39.5-40C) 5 days ago. A doctor saw her and he said her ears and throut were very red and gave her antibiotic. Yesterday she got a bit better, but today she has been very down and I found a rash con her tommy and back. What should I do?? She has taken antibiotics before, so I dont think is a reaction to it. thanks in advance for any advise
Hello
Thanks for the query
As you have mentioned it seems that she is suffering from some kind of upper respiratory tract infection, it may be viral( more common) or bacterial. Most of the viral illnesses are associated with rashes. Chances of rashes after having antibiotics is also there but not very common. So just observe for any increase in rashes or persistence of fever. If it is not improving or increasing in severity consult your doctor.
I hope this answers your query
With regards
