What Causes Rash On Stomach/buttock And Headache?
My son is 4 years old and attends an all day pre-k class. He was fussy yesterday, however played as usual. Decreased appetite and complained of a headache. I noticed a faint rash on his stomach and buttox that became more red after bathtime. He woke up in the middle of the night crying due to severe headache. He then had the dry heaves, went to bed and was fine this morning. Just curious what your thoughts were!
