What Causes Rough Skin In Back/chest In A Child Suffering From Fever?

My 1.4 year old child is having fever and occasional coughing. From yesterday night we have seen that his chest and back is very rough and he is having fever more than 100 farenhite. I have given him Tixylix and Salhexin syrup and Crocin in 6 hrs interval.Now we have consulted a local doctor and he had given vent pd and tixylix and clavam pd( amoxicilin and clauvanate acid combination). My question is what the reason for the rough surface in back and chest and should we continue giving salhexin and clavum or change salhexin to vent pd. Please suggest the medicines. He is having cough and cold problem from his birth and last month he had went thru congenital branchial sinus. Is there any relation with the surgery with this problem?

Hi,

The roughness is due to rash that appeared as apart of the illness, which is probably viral. No need to change treatment because of this. If the rash is irritating, you can apply Calamine lotion over there.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
