What Causes Bumpy Rash On Cheeks Of A Baby?

my grandson (22 months) woke up with a bumpy rash on his cheeks - there isnt a fever but he does have a cold. he s somewhat lethargic. He was outside in the sun yesterday for a few hours - but had sunblock 100 on. it doesnt itch and it isnt sore. do you think this could be prickly heat or a heatrash? should he go to the ER?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

This might be a viral illness. If otherwise active and feeding well, no worries. If any irritation, you can apply Calamine lotion over there.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
