What Causes Fever And Patchy Rash On A Toddler S Chest?
Hello, my 3 year old was sick one week ago for 2 days, what ever she ate came straight out. It was followed by fever. The fever stayed for a couple of days but was never higher than 38.5 Celsius. She also had a a small rash on her chest, patchy rash. Was thinking the fever disapeard but today fever has gone up to 39.3 and she complained of pain on the back of her head. Am bit worried now that there is something more serious happening?? Do I need togo to hospital? Many thanks

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. It could be any viral exanthematous illness. The other possibility if it is an itchy rash could be a toxic urticaria or viral illness induced allergic reaction.
Skin conditions are best diagnosed and treated after seeing them directly. I suggest you upload images on this website and get back to us.
I suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral antiallergic like Hydroxyziine or Cetrizine.
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.
