Infant. High Temperature Followed By Diarrhea And Bad Cough, Gasping For Breath, Irritable With Red Pin Prick Rash. Help
My 10 month old son hasn't been well for a week now. It first started off with a high temperature. The temperature has now gone but he is now being sick having diarreah off his food has a really bad cough which comes in bouts and is gasping for breath after it hes also grouchy and irritable and has also developed a red pin prick rash. What could this be?
It appears your son has a viral infection which can explain the rash, diarrhoea and bouts of cough. I would suggest that you consult a doctor who shall do a clinical assessment of your son for: 1. Any evidence of dehydration. 2. Any chest infection as you mention he gasps for breath following a bout of cough. 3. Type of rash. If required the examination shall be followed by investigations.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
