What Causes Rashes On Body Except Arms And Legs?
My baby is 4 months old. For the last 6days has been very chesty. She had her 3rd set of injections on frida and i understand that she can get flu like syptoms. However she now has a rash that has been on her body(except her arms and legs. Mostly of her main body She is currently having problems sleeping during the day and at night. Once she has managed to get to sleep she wakes up crying or with a wave of her arms. (just like when they are first born). She is currently on Enfamil milk for spitting up. but seems to be ok to begin with and had gradually got worse. Still arching back etc. N E suggestions please.

Hi...Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
The sleep disturbance could be due to the itchiness of the rash which she is experiencing.
Spitting up of milk and arching of back are signs of gestroesophageal reflux.
The stiffening is called Sandifer's syndrome and in this they arch their back so much to avoid recurrent reflux and aspiration into the lungs. Your daughter will need -
1. Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetics
2. Always make her lie down in a propped up position - as in the care seat. She should not be sleeping completely flatly.
3. Avoid heavy feeding and feeding more times and in small aliquots.
