What Could Cough, Runny Nose, Tiny Brown Dots On Face Near Corner Of Eyes In A Child Mean?
Yes my 2 year old son has had a cough and runny nose for about 2 was just a common cold but today I noticed tiny brown dots on his face near the outside corner of his eyes and he has not been out in the sun at all and I know they are not freckles they look much different and freckles are not in our family genes. I am very concerned. ..do you know if this could be a sign of something serious? It s never happened to any of my 4 kids who are all under the age of 5.

Hi...it could be a viral cold which is havingssome signs of exanthem which can affect the skin and mucosal surfaces. If its not bothering him or affecting his daily activities, you need not worry. But almost always skin conditions are best diagnosed after directly seeing. I suggest you upload a photograph of the lesions on this website if you are still concerned.
