Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child is having symptoms of fever and body rash. It could be due to allergic reaction as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene. You should take Diphenhydramine and Dextromethorphan for 4-5 days.Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Apply cold compresses and do tepid sponging. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should take you take nasal decongestant sprays, antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present. You should avoid it

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
