Suggest Treatment For A Red Rash On The Arm And Sore Throat
My daughter is 11 and she has a runny nose and a sore throat. I also noticed a small red rash on the upper part of her left arm. She said it feels like a bruise when its touched. I put a glass over it to see if it would disappear and it did not. Ive checked for more rashes on her body and there is none. So is this a virus? Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of your 11 year daughter getting runny nose and sore throat.
The red rash on the arm can be a viral exenthema, although this may not be so localized, can further spread and hence keep under observation.
Give her the symptomatic treatment, and consult a Doctor to confirm whether this is going to be some allergy or not.
