What Causes Tiny Red Spots After High Fever In A Toddler?
my son aged 1 yr 1 mth had high fever last thursday and was admitted to the hospital on the friday, reaching almost 40 temperature. His fever fully recovered on sunday, in which he was then allowed to be discharged from the hospital. today - monday, at home, his body begins to rash with tiny red spot on his cheeks and chest, and some at his stomach. it does not itch because my son does not scratch the red spots at all. and he has no fever. any idea what this might be? or this is normal for toddlers after high fever?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. It could be any viral exanthematous illness. But as you quote them as red spots after fever - the possibility is any other trivial viral exanthem. I suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral antiallergic like Hydroxyziine or Cetrizine. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
