Low Grade Fever, Red Rings Around Eyes, Cough, Rashes All Over Body. Not Taking Medicines. Concerned?
my grandaughter who just turned 7 has had a low grade fever and very red rings around eyes which looks better today but she has a cough and has been tired for almost a week now and has developed a rash all over her body. She refuses to take liquid or pill benadryl . She has not eaten hardly anything all week. She is going thru something because she wont eat anything that has texture - strawberries,oranges, really she doesn t want anything. I am concerned
