Suffering With Gastro, On Ondansetron, Has Rashes All Over The Body. Treatment Required?

Hi, Our 10 month old DD has had gastro (diaroeha & fever ) since Wednesday last week and is just starting to recover now. Had to rush her to hospital a couple of days ago as she was really lethargic and not eating/drinking anything. They gave her ondansetron and since then she s been getting better. Still not eating much but atleast she s drinking a little. This morning noticed that she s breaking out in little rashes all over her body. Should I take her to the docs again? Any help be appreciated. Btw, her urine test came back all good as well.

Hi,
Thank you for your query,
This rash could be due to a viral cause.
Continue to give sips of oral rehydrating solutions to prevent dehydration.
For rash you can apply calamine lotion externally over skin for the soothing effect.
Monitor her hydration status by her activity and urine output.
If she is having any signs of dehydration or rash is progressing ,consult the Pediatrician for examination and for medication.
Hope i have answered your query.
