Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding fever with erruptions over scalp, chest, and shoulders.

Your medical history and the area of distribution of rashes indicates that it is a viral erruptive fever. You are advice for-

1- Tab Paracetamol.

2- Anti hstaminic.

3- Adequate fluid orally.

4- Bed rest.

Though most of the time these fevers gets cured by it self but some times there are chances of complications like pneumonitis, renal failure, corditis and epidydmo-orchitis etc, therefore medical supervision is must to protect from complications by early diagnosis and treatment of any complication.

Regards.
