What Causes Rashes Behind The Ears And On Torso?
Brief Answer:
Give OTC antihistaminic med as following....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am sorry for the situation your granddaughter is facing.
From the photo you provided, I noted the rash and, as she does not have any fever, the rash could be due to allergy reaction to any food/drink she might have consumed prior to rash showing.
I advise to:
- keep her well hydrated and ventilated (fresh air, less humidity)
- give her OTC anti-histaminic med.
If the rash won't disappear, and if the fever will be present, should send her to
ER for immediate consultation; or ask to consult her pediatrician as soon as possible.
Wish fast recovery!

Thank you. This seems the most likely treatment. She did get a chicken pox vaccination about 10 days ago at her one year appointment. We thought it might be a mild outbreak.
Brief Answer:
I did not noted any fluid filled blisters...do you?
Detailed Answer:
Hi back my dear,
From what I have seen from the photo, the rash does not consist of fluid filled blisters alternating with red spots and hard crust, which is common in chicken pox infection.
Wish fast recovery!
