How To Cure Brown Rashes And Pain Behind Ears?
My son has a brown rash behind his ears and is extremly sensitive to light. Even in a dark room his eyes are hurting him. He is also running a low grade fever. 2 weeks ago he exibited the exact same symptoms. Is this a virus or should I take him in to the doctor. He has had some tick bite recently also and sometimes complains that his feet hurt and has trouble walking when first getting up in the morning.

Hi,
Noted the history related to your son having sensitive eyes, rash behind ears, history of tic bites and low grade fever.
All this indicates to take him to the Doctor as this needs to be clinically evaluated, instigated if required to get a proper diagnosis.
A proper diagnosis alone allows a specific treatment that is most effective.
Till then watch for his temperature, blood pressure, development of any other symptoms.
Do not treat at home.
This can be routine virus infection or can be due to tic bites or even something else as the symptoms are not usual ones.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT and General Surgeon
