Suggest Remedy For Rashes Due To Coxsackie Virus
my son 2 1/2 has the coxsackie virus; which we went to the doctors yesterday. The rash has gotten worse and have been giving him Motrin for fever and Benadryl for the itch. In addition giving him Aveeno Oatmeal baths. Is there anything else to help soothe the itching?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Please do continue the medications you are using already till resolution of symptoms. As coxsackie virus infections are usually self limiting, you do not need additional medications. In case of deterioration of rash or fever, consult your Dermatologist/Pediatrician immediately.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Rashes due to viral infection including Coxasackie will heal without any particular treatment. You can apply Alo Vera lotion for symptomatic relief and faster recovery. No definite treatment is required.
