Mark On Back. Used Tylenol And Ibuproefen. Fever High. Help?
My 6 year old son woke up with 2 small eraser size circles(looks like really big spider bite ) marks on his upper back. He has been running fever off and on for 4 days. i have used Tylenol and ibuprofen , and then off and one with one another, and now I switched brands.Should I take him into the doctor even if his fever is not high enough for their guild lines to bring in? Do you think it is serious, or go away by itself?

Dear user,
Although this is not serious, you should still go to the doctor for a proper examination of those red patches. These patches may occur with allergies, infections, insect bites, and many other causes. An understanding of the two marks may also lead to understand why there is fever, and lead to better treatment.
