Suggest Treatment For Red Spotted Rashes On Baby's Body

My 17 month old has large red spotted rash, some with pus coming to surface, but hasn't leaked, on her legs, arms, and some faint ones on her face. Has been like it for the past 24 hours. Not eating much either. She is around 10kgs, has little airways, and recently had pus in her throat, fluid in her ears, and crackly chest.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red spotted rashes on baby's body. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like contact dermatitis can be caused by coming into contact with allergen, allergic reaction , side effects or certain medicines , sensitivity to sunlight , eczema and psoriasis . Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper personal hygiene , take Zyrtec one a day and apply cold compresses to reduce the itchiness and inflammation. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test , test for allergy and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment , antibiotics , anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressants.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
