What Causes Rashes On The Face And Stomach Of A Child?
Hi, my 9 month old son had a temperature of 37,5 - 38,5 celsius for 4 days, and today termometer says 35.3. He doesn t have a runny nose or cough. He also got a rash on his face and belly. Not sure if this has anything to do with the temperature as he has some alergies. He also getts irritated easily today . Thank you

Roseola infantum is a virus that is very common in children up to 2 years of age. The usual course of the illness is 3-4 days of fever, and when the fever stops, a rash develops typically affecting the trunk and sometimes the face and extremities. It is self limited, meaning that it runs its course without the need for intervention in most cases.
