What Causes Fever Welts In Child?
My 5 year old come home 5 hours ago with a 103.1 F temp with fever welts on her body. Gave her 1 1/2 tsp Motrin and now at 97.4. Cries when I take her temp. in her ears and I check temp from both ears to ensure accuracy. She has nut and egg allergies and I feared allergic reaction, but now I m wondering if this is an ear infection?

Hi.... what you are quoating is called toxic urticaria. Sometimes any simple viral illness can cause this sort of allergic reaction in the body along with high fever. I suggest you continue giving Paracetamol or Ibuprofen for fever. If the Rash or allergic reaction is persisting even after few hours, I suggest you to give Hydroxyzine. But this is a prescription drug and you will require a doctor's prescription for it.
