Hi thank you for choosing Healthcare magic. I'm sorry that you had to run around the ER twice. Regarding your child as he has fever with rash it is better he is hospitalised for observation as the rash may be a wide variety from simple viral to serious meningococcal infection. As the pediatric consult has advised you so after checking your child it is better you get admitted, if not atleast get some baseline investigations done to rule out any major cause. If your child is active, feeding well , passing urine regularity with the rash now fading you needn't worry much. But he has any one of danger signs like drowsiness, inactivity, increasing rash, not accepting food, not passing urine etc you have to consult the ER immediately.
