What Causes Fever With Redness In Eyes, Rash And Weakness?
My grandson has been running a tem p up to.103 if not controlled with tylenol/ibuprofen since last Sunday, a week ago. He was checked out at two hospitals within the week because the fever meds wasn t always effective. In Wednesday we noticed redness of eyes, a rash around lips and between legs, and his scrotum is shrinked, he s very weak and not holding anything on his stomach..he also has lost about 3or 4 lbs as a result of this...what can this be??

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Your history suggests that he may be suffering from Measles.
It is self limiting viral disease,preventable by vaccine.
Fever usually subsides after the rash and the rash progresses first and subsides within a week.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
