Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rashes Behind Ears And Swollen Lymph Nodes

I do not normally do this, just trying to determine if I need to see a doc... symptoms are... 1. rash behind ears with noticeably raised bumps, not extremely itchy though since Saturday, just down to the jaw line and then stops. 2. yesterday slight fever 99.8, today normal 3. Stomach ache yesterday 4. Diarrhea today only (may explain yesterdays stomach ache) 5. yesterday and today headache 6. swollen lymph nodes behind ears too Otherwise she feels fine, eats, pees, active, etc.... I just want to be sure that I am not at risk of exposing her to any other child with something... Thank you,

Hi. I'm Dr.Neel Kudchadkar from HCM and I'll help you. I suggest that she has an infection. However, you have not mentioned details such as her age. I suggest that you need to see a doctor because she needs antibiotics that you cannot buy without a prescription. Meanwhile, you can help her by giving her a over the counter medicine like Avil or Fexofenadine or Montelukast. This will reduce the symptoms greatly. You can give her paracetamol syrup with ibuprofen. Please visit my virtual clinic at XXXX for more counselling. Thanks for using HCM.
