Hi,
Thanks for the query.
High fever with headache and red to pink blotches suggests viral fever. Viral fever are treated symptomatically.
Follow these steps:
1. To control fever: Antipyretic medications, cold body sponge
2. Ask to her to consume lots of fluids, healthy diet
3. complete bed rest
4. It usually take 4-7 days for the fever to settle.
Hope I have answered your query. If any further questions, will be happy to help you.
