Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain , Rashes All Over The Body And High Fever In A Child
My Daughter has had a fever of up to 103.8 since Tuesday. Have had her to the dr twice and the ER once. Every single time I have taken her they have asked about a rash that was not there. Today she is still running the fever and has a rash all over her body that does not itch. they told us yesterday they thought she had maybe been bitten by a tick and put her on Doxycycline. Her other symptoms are extreme lower back pain and rib pain that keeps her from taking deep breaths. They ran an ultrasound on her gaulbladder, kidneys, pancreas and ovaries last night. her white blood count is at 20 and her pulse is 140.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
It could be any viral exanthematous illness or it could be a Ricketsial infection due to a tick bite.
As there is high grade fever it could be toxic urticaria too.
I suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral antiallergic like Hydroxyziine or Cetrizine.
But if the kid is having poor oral intake or low urine output, then she might need intravenous fluids.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
