What Causes A Rash On Arms And Face Of A Child Along With Fever?
child broke out on arms, partially upper thighs, back and face with bright pink areas with what appeared to be blisters but were not, cool bath helped calm them but they returned with a fever of 100.5. Just came off antibiotic for fall with bitten tongue and mom has been on antibiotic with steriods for pharangitis - she breast feeds. What could it be?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of rashes on arms and face which seems to be due to allergic reaction of body and due to viral infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give your child plenty of fluids. Give diet rich in multivitamins. Avoid intake of sharp, spicy and oily food. Visit pediatrician once and get complete examination done. You should get blood and skin senstivity test done and start treatment after complete examination. You should take antihistamine medication. Apply cold compresses on skin. Avoid touching or pricking rashes.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
