Suggest Treatment For Cough, Blotchy Skin And Red Cheeks In Kid
My grandson has had a bad cough for several weeks now. The doctor said there was drainage and was probably allergies and gave him antibiotics which he has been taken for a week now but today he has blotchy skin and his cheeks are red. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
First thing blotchy skin or rash or red spots over chheks need to examined by doctor's naked eye and only after then one can comment on that if its duty antibiotic's allergy or something else.
If your grand son was having severe cough and doctor diagnosed it could be due to allergy and then given antibiotics and other antiallergic treatment.
So better u go to him first and then dermatologist if there is no solution.
