Suggest Remedy For Rashes On Body Of A Toddler Post Treatment For Fever

My grand daughter is 13 months old. Last nite we took her to ER for a temp of 101.4 but what is so scary is she has a horrible rash over her whole body now. The blood work came back good for the platelets in her blood. I have 3 grown children and have never seen anything like this rash. It is big, blotchy pinkish red and a few small bumps in middle. They said they had no idea what it was. Gave her a steroid shot and Tylenol for fever. The rash is going down to her but and little legs. It is itching her. I called her ped. and they said to give her benedyrl. The 23rd of Dec. she was sick with RSV and was getting better slowly but getting better and now this rash and fever. Please help me. Trish

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your granddaughter is having symptoms of rashes on body of a toddler post treatment for fever. It could be due to poor immunity of body and allergic reaction as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene. You should take Diphenhydramine and Dextromethorphan for 4-5 days.Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Apply cold compresses and do tepid sponging. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should take you take nasal decongestant sprays, antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present. You should avoid it

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
