What Causes Pale Pink Spots On Face And Torso In Children?

my 1 year old has been tired and not feeling well the last 2 days. I thought it was teething, but today I see she has tiny pale pink spots on her face and torso - not a lot, but just enough to notice. The spots do not seem to be raised. All immunizations up to date - with the most recent being a couple of weeks ago. She had croup end of October, and has a slight cough now.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi
He is most likely suffering from viral infection which are self limiting and common in this age group. Give him acetaminophen for fever and pain relief along with antihistamine such as Chlorpheniramine or fexofenadine for cough. Also, ensure a good healthy diet and plenty of fluids.
Hopefully this will improve with in the next few days.
Take care
