Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have symptoms of itchy body rashes and high fever which seems to be be due to viral infection. Need not to worry. Usually your child's symptoms will resolve in 5 days on its own. I would suggest you to start with paracetamol every 4 hourly. Maintain hydration of child well. Avoid giving large meals to child and give him small but frequent meals. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. Give curd in diet. Start giving oral rehydration fluids sip by sip to maintain the hydration.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
