Cannot send pic of rash -small, approx 1-2mm, painful, blanches, red, no center.

Listen - this kid never gets sick. Went to walk-in and they did a D-dimer cuz he can't take deep breaths. It was OK. Not being able to take deep breaths ongoing prob. Throat has red streaks but strep was neg. He won't go back to doc cuz he says he never gets a diagnosis. I am very worried - he does not complain.
Oh, no one else in his household exhibiting sx.

Brief Answer:
Would handle this as a possible viral infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will handle this a a probable viral infection. This requires that we manage his symptoms only. Antibiotics wouldn't prove helpful. Kindly report the drugs he's on at this moment for review and further adjustments if necessary.

I look forward reading from you!
