Suggest Remedy For Cough, Congestion, Red Patch On Cheek In A Child

My 2 1/2 year old has a runny nose (clear), a somewhat hacking kind of cough, congestion, watering eyes, and a bright red smooth patch about an inch in diameter on one cheek. I assume this is allergies, but the red patch worries me. It just appeared today and has gotten brighter and bigger throughout the day.

Hi.... the red Patch on the cheeks could be because of a viral illness called exanthem subitum.

I suggest you get back to your pediatrician regarding this and get your kid examined once.
