Small Child, Stomach Virus, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Rashes, Bluish Patches On Arms. Causes?
Hello my 3 year old daughter has a stomach virus. Yesterday she had some vomiting and had a little diarrhea this morning. I noticed her legs had a type of rash and later on her arms and legs felt itchy. She then had what seemed like bluish patches on her arms and legs. This preoccupied me and I m wondering what could have caused it. She hadn t eaten so I doubt it was food. Thank you

Thank you for your query.
She has a viral infection.
Viral infections induce gastritis and rashes over the body.
Apply a calamine lotion to the areas and they should be fine in a few days.
Maintain good hydration and give her some rest.
