What Causes Dizziness And Headache With Body Rash?
Hi there. My 12 year old son had severe dizziness and headache all Saturday and Sunday and slept a lot. That has subsided but now he has a rash and sore throat. He seems fine though otherwise. Energy, appetite etc.Could the rash be from a weekend fever?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The rash is likely linked to the symptoms that he experienced over the weekend and is continuing to have (sore throat).
The rash may be a viral exanthem which is a rash that occurs with a viral illness. It is common particularly in children and usually resolves along with or soon after the viral infection.
He can use symptomatic treatment only (treat particular symptoms present eg if itching- antihistamine, if painful- a pain killer) etc
I hope this helps
