What Causes Rash On The Skin In Infants After Treatment For Viral Fever?
Hi....my 8 month old daughter had a temperature of 39.1C a couple of days ago. We took her to our doctors..their diagnosis was a virus. Her temperature has now gone but she has red spots/rash all over her body. If she has slept for a while on one side of her face the rash is pronounced. I am not sure wheteher the rash is part of the virus or an allergic reaction to paracetamol. Any suggestion please?

Hello. Welcome to HCM. Sometimes if a baby has a fever after this is gone baby may manifest rashes all over the body. But this is not something you should worry. It will pass after some days and you don't have to apply anything. If the rash persists for more days than go and visit a doctor.
