Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter had a low grade fever and with the fever she had this rash that looked like a sunburn. Under her arm, neck, part of her upper chest, lower side (just the right side) and also her private area. The rash is itchy and seems to be fading in some areas but getting stronger in other areas. We just took her temperature before sending her off to bed and her temp is normal. She just had a little sore throat, not much of one so I'm sure it is not strep or scarlet fever.....been through that enough to be able to rule out. Any ideas?
I really appreciate your concern. These symptoms could be due chickenpox. If child with similar symptom comes to my clinic I would ask for chickenpox vaccination or previous episode of chickenpox. If the child is not vaccinated or did nit have previous episode of chickenpox it is more likely that she is having chickenpox. Treatment of chickenpox is symptomatic only because it is mostly a self limiting disease. Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
Best Regards. Dr. Manan
