Is Pimple In Buttocks And Mucous From Eyes Sign Of Strep Infection?
My 20 month old daughter is currently on antibiotic for strep throat. She is coughing a bit and had afever yesterday. Today her temperature is normal. She had a peculiar pimple like rash on her bottom last week .he rash has cleared up now. I noticed today that she has a great deal of mucous in her eyes. Is this a symptom of strep? Should I be concerned about this?

One day fever with sore throat and multiple systemic symptoms is more in favor of viral infection. Skin infections are more commonly due to staph and most of them heal with topical antibiotics. Mucous discharge in eye is not always a sign of infection. Excessive lacrimation during sleep can cause eyelids to stick together. Similar viral conjuctivitis can cause watering and mucous secretion. As there is no fever, symptomatic treatment of the above conditions is more than enough.
