Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

This rash is surely because of the respiratory infection you have.

If your respiratory infection is treated than there is no need to worry. Steroid will suffice to take care of your rash. Cetrizine can help cure the itching associated with the rash.

You can continue the low dose steroid like prednisolone under your doctors guidance.

Fever should be avoided, high fever should be immediately treated with the paracetamol.


I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
