What Causes Rashes On Face And Arms During Fever?
my 7 year old daughter started her fever of 101.4 last night with cough meds and tylenol I was able to get her to sleep. Now, this morning, when she woke up, we noticed a blotchy red rash on her arms and face. It is not raised. Does not itch or burn. Has not spread or gone away with cough meds and tylenol. I ve looked at pictures online and it doesn t seem to be 5th or 6th disease. It doesn t resemble heat rash either. What could this be?

Most rashes tend to be viral induced but it can be allergic although less likely since not itchy- but you may want to check the cough medicine and see if you stop that or perhaps there may be something in the Tyelnol ie a dye etc.
The main thing is that she is drinking, active and acting appropriately and urinating. If that is all okay, it is probably safe to watch and observe and if still present 24 to 48 hours later, then have her evaluated.
Wish her a speedy recovery!
