What Do Rashes On The Chest And Legs Indicate?
my 9 year old son had appendectomy 12 days ago. On the second day he developed a red slightly raised rash completely covering his chest down to top of his legs. We were in the middle of a hurricane, so I phoned the hospital and gave them his symptoms and was told to give Benedryl. After the hurricane I took him to ER and they gave him 1 pill a day for 5 days of Predizone. On the 10 day, he has started complaining with his stomach (which he is holding the lower portion of his abdomen) hurting. Then that same night he got very sick on his stomach and threw up once. The same thing happened the next night. He has laid around all weekend complaining with his stomach. What should I do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The stomach pain may be caused by prednisone. He needs to see a physician who will perform a fibrogastroscopy and start treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
