Child Has Rash, Low Appetite, Seems To Be Hot And Sweaty. Could It Be Weil's Syndrome?
my granddaughter is 2 years old has a rash like a heat rash ,but is not herself ,her appetite is poor, she is very grizzly ,normally a very happy child, she gets very hot and sweaty when sleeping as though she has been in a bath. When she wakes she is in a very odd tizzy and inconsolable, just crying all the time, recently my daughter has had a rat problem, in her garden shed, little one plays in the garden. could this rash be related to weil,s syndrome, or am I being to cautious.

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
In Weil's syndrome one has fever, myalgia and headache. Rash is not a feature of this syndrome.
You have not mentioned the duration of the problem. Have you consulted a doctor for the rash? What is the temperature like in your area? As you mention that the rash is like a heat rash and she wakes up hot and sweaty I am inclined to think in terms of the hot humid weather causing these problems unless there is some other reason.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your granddaughter an early recovery.
