Suggest Treatment For Fever And Skin Rash In A Child
My 8 year old has been running a fever for almost 48 hours now. Her temp is now at 103 degrees, and she has developed a rash on her chest. She also has the symptoms of a cold. She is drinking fluids and has cold washclothes on her head and legs. What should I do? The fever does not seem to be breaking.

Hello,
Sometimes just drinking fluids, cold baths, cold washcloths help but are not enough so you should use paracetamol or ibuprofen syrup for the temperature. About the rash, in the chest, I think it comes from the temperature. If your child has more than 3 days with high temperature you should consult to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
