Pediatrician,  's  Response
If he is eating ok and alert when his fever is down then you can simply continue to treat his fever as you have been doing for another day. We see a lot of viral illnesses this time of year that usually begin with fever before a rash appearsIf after 48 hours he is still running fever then you need to have his doctor take a look at him.
