What Does Blotchy Thread Like Rash On Extremities Indicate?
My 3 year old daughter has had a fever ranging from 101-103.9F for 4 days. I took her to the doctor yesterday and he checked her throat, chest and ears and saw no infection. They also checked her for the flu and it came back negative. Tonight she developed a blotchy, thread like rash on her extremities. Should I take her to the ER? I ve been keeping her fever down by alternating between acetaminophen and ibuprofen. It is now 102.5F with medication.
