Suggest Treatment For Fever And Skin Rash
Hi, my 17 year old son has had fever fluctuating between 38.1 - 39.6C for five days now. A rash has now appeared on the neck, shoulder and upper back. Predominantly right side which is the side that he had neck swelling and inflammation. The rash looks like small red pus filled pimples. The small pimple with pus is surrounded with a circular area of redness. Today is a public holiday so unable to get to the drs.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hello.
It is not good to be with fever for 5 days. You should use paracetamol for fever and take lots of fluids, and visit your doctor as soon as posiable. You probably need antibiotics, and it is more then necesary to be examined.
