Brief Answer:
Morbilliform rash classical of viral illness

Detailed Answer:
Hi... I have just seen the image you have uploaded. It looks like a morbilliform rash classical of viral illness. You need not worry. It will settle by itself usually.

I suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral antiallergic like Hydroxyziine or Cetrizine.

I have a few questions for you -

1. Was there any fever preceeding this rash?
2. How is the activity of the kid?
3. How is the urine output?
4. Is there any tummy pain or eye pain?
5. Is there any fast breathing or respiratory distress?

Kindly get back with answers soon and I will be glad to guide you further.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

Brief Answer:
Do not worry - this is viral ilness with rash

Detailed Answer:
Hi...I am happy to hear that there are no red flags or danger signs in your kid. This looks like a simple viral exanthematous illness. She is already on the recovery path.

As i have suggested in my first interaction with you - suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral anti-allergic like Hydroxyziine (Atarax) or Cetrizine.

You can try Syrup Atarax at 3.5ml thrice a day under supervision of your doctor if the rash is irritating her.

I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below -
