Suggest Treatment For Fever, Cough And Runny Nose In Kid
My 2 1/2 year old son has a low fever (99.8), coughing, runny nose (clear), and this morning woke with red cheeks and ears. His ears are bright red and his face is just "pink" on his cheeks, you can see clearly around his mouth where it is his normal facial coloring. Any ideas? He just got over Strep Throat and a course of antibiotics that he finished 5 days ago (was on medicine for 10 days).

Hi...looks like your son has got scarlet fever or a recovering streptococcal infection. Unless he is irritable and unconsolable nothing needs to be worried. This cough and rash will settle in few days time.
