What Causes Sudden Red Itchy Rashes On The Body And Fever?
My daughter, 7 years old, woke with a red and raised rash that is itchy and the symptoms have lasted all day. It also appears worse than when she woke. She has an elevated temperature of 99.4. No other apparent symptoms. Should I be immediately concerned? What can I do to help her deal with the symptoms and get some rest?

Hi Thanks for using healthcare Magic.
Raised itchy rash sounds more like an allergic rash (utricaria/hives).It can occur in viral illness aswel. She needs antihistamine to get rid of of the itching and doctor's review.
Hope this helps.
Take care
