Suggest Remedy For Rashes Due To Virus Infection
My 1 year old daughter has a rash on her arms torso back and legs. 2 days ago she was omitted to hospital for tests as she was unable to crawl on her knees as they were a little swollen and red. they took xrays and bloods and said it was all ok and that it was probable a virus. Now one day later she has developed this rash which seems to be spreading rather rapidly. She has no temperature or signs of a fever and seems to be alright. What should I do

Hi,
Perhaps she has a viral exanthem. I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion. In addition i suggest her to take an oral antihistamine e.g either cetrizine of benadryl for a few days. The rash would dry up and exfoliate in a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
