What Causes Sore Throat Along With Rashes On Lower Abdomen And Chest?

Hi. I have an 8 yrs old daughter that is very healthy. There are some symptoms that may not be related at all and might be single issue things but after I started putting things together-thought perhaps it might be something more.She said her back felt hot a couple of days ago. Then she had a sore throat for one night-no fever. Then three red little dots that looked like an ant bite showed up on her lower abdomen (sp). Then this morning a small very light rash (not even red) showed up on her chest.

Hello
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. There is nothing to worry about looks more like viral infection with rash. Mononucleosis is common in children of school age group with symptoms of sore throat and pinkish rash on torso. As it is a viral infection so antibiotics are not needed, unless some secondary bacterial infection accompany. The infection spreads through nasal and oral secretions, if the child is having running nose and other cold like symptoms it is always better to keep him home rather than sending school to avoid spread of virus.
Washing hands and keeping hygiene is necessary for symptoms of sore throat salt water gargle, lozenges. Advil or Tylenol can be given if symptoms of fever or body pain manifest. Ample of rest, fluid and healthy diet will speed up the recovery time and rash will subside on its own.
Hope your concern is answered. Thank you.
