Do Lingering Fever, Headache And Rashes On Face And Shoulders Need Medical Attention?
Hello. My nine year old son has been suffering from a cold for four days (Sat. 1st day). The past three days he has been having pretty bad headaches. He felt well enough to attend school today but this evening his headache was back and he couldn t finish his homework. I also noticed he has a rash (fine little bumps) on his face, shoulders and upper arm. No fever today. Please advise if I need to see his physician.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection. I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen daily. In case of itching, I recommend using Calamine lotion for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
