Suggest Treatment For An Itchy Skin Rash In A Child
My 5 yr old started crying on friday w/ a headache and nausea. It was very intense. About 6am she threw up some and the headache continued. Tylenol took it away and she played until about 4 and then the headache was back and a fever of 101. At this point she hasn t had tylenol since midnight last night and no headache or fever but she has an itchy rash under one arm and it looks a little sandpapery on her belly but she is not complaining of itching there. Just fluky or something to watch more carefully.

Hi,
Sand paper like rash and itching along with fever could be scarlet fever. She needs antibiotics - Amoxicillin. Please consult your pediatrician.
