Rashes All Over Body, Diarrhoea After Being Stung By A Bee. Due To Allergic Reaction?

Hello, my name is Zoe and abot 5 days ago my son developed a wierd sort of rash on his chest. It was getting better but on Sat afternoon it spread to his legs. We went to the park not thinking it was anything to serious and while at the park he stepped on a bee and was stung on his foot. Now he has broken out with a severe rash all over his body and has diarrhea. Could this be an allergic reaction, even though he had the rash before the bee sting?

hi,
thank for consulting HCM
Acute, sudden onset diarrhea occurring together with skin symptoms, like itch, tingling, swelling or rash may be caused by:
Childhood viral infections, like measles, scarlatina, rubella, chicken pox, infectious mononucleosis.The most common one is the varicella virus, which causes chickenpox. This rash starts as flat red bumps that then become crusted over. They usually start on the face and abdomen or back and then spread to the whole body. Other common viruses that cause rashes have become less common because of vaccination. These include measles and rubella or german measles. Bacterial infections can also cause rashes throughout the body.So as it is before the bee sting consult a pediarician for further advice.THANK YOU.
