What Causes Red Spots All Over The Body Of A Child?
Hi my one year son had a fever for 4 days, when I took him to the doctor they said he had strep throat, he was given antibiotics for 2 days and now he has red spots all over his body and it seems to be getting worse, they are not blistery and don't seem to be itchy. What could that be from?

Hello,
Fever with four days with rashes is usually a presentation of viral exanthemas measles. It is associated with acute respiratory infection (ARI), gastric upset. It has a course of one week, sometimes require antibiotic treatment. There is nothing to worry about rashes, it doesn't require any treatment, will resolve in a few days spontaneously.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
