What Causes Sporadic Fevers With Red Spot On The Elbow And Knee?
my son has sporadic fevers and now he has a red hot spot on his right elbow and on his left knee. He had a fever yesterday at 4pm of 101 and now he has not had a fever since. He also had one 2 days ago and then it went away without medication. Should i be concerned?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it may be due to the heat atmosphere, but the spot matters, it may suggest some oncoming viral fever.
I advise you to consult a pediatrician for diagnosis and treatment.
He may need to have some blood , and urine tests for diagnosis.
I usually prescribe to my patient cifixime, multivitamins,and paracetamol when necessary.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
