What Could Fever With Red Blotches On Thighs, Face And Arms Indicate?
hello my three yrs and 3 month year old daughter has had a temperature up to 39.9 for the last few days, i noticed this morning a couple of red blotches on the side of her face now she has round red blotches on her arms and big round blotch on her thigh.
Hi....by what you quote I feel that it could be a viral induced toxic urticaria or a viral exanthematous illneess. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose every 6th to 8th hourly for 7-10 days. Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your paediatrician. 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.
