What Causes Vomiting And Sneezing With Red Spots Under The Nose?

My 3 yr old son woke up last night at 6:30 a.m. with a fever and threw up. The puke was pink chucks which I presume is because the last thing he consumed was strawberry milk. Shortly after he threw up he sneezed and a big line of snot when down his face. He was rubbing his nose a lot this morning and now he has red splotches all over and right under his nose. What is going on amd what can I do about the splotches?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
it seems like your son picked up a common viral illness. This will run its course on its own after several days. The red splotches or irritation caused by contact with the mucus that came out of his nose. This to will resolve on its own. However, I recommend a thin layer Evangeline over the area, to prevent a worsening of the irritation.
