What Causes Stiff Neck And An Itchy, Blotchy Rash On Legs, Cheeks And Upper Arms?

My daughter has a stiff neck and an itchy, blotchy rash on her legs, lower back, upper arms and cheeks. These symptoms appeared over the weekend and have gotten progressively worse. She does not have a fever, but had the chills briefly on Sunday. She also did not get much sleep last night.

Hi,

This is probably a viral rash. If she is otherwise fine and taking feeds as usual, you can give paracetamol three times a day (to relieve stiff neck, chills and fever if any) after food. Itching can be relieved with antihistamine like levocetirizine and calamine lotion to be applied over rash. I could not mention the dose of drugs, as weight and age not mentioned.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
