Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Fever And Red Rashes All Over The Body Of An Infant?
My son is 19 months old and had a fever for the late 2 days re a ching 101.6 F. And now starting today he has a rash all over the back of his legs and some on his butt. They are very red bumps and some seem to be opening. They don t seem to be itchy. Wondering if I should bring him in?
The symptoms of your child seem to be related to a viral infection. The rash can be a viral rash.
I suggest to give him Tylenol for the fever. I also recommend to give him liquids. If the symptoms continue for more than three days you may consult a pediatrician for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
