Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear Parent,

Heat rashes are very common in summers and in humid environments. They usually subside by exposure to cooler environments, wearing light cotton clothes, using cool packs and cool showers. However if your rash is not going away with home treatment above or getting worse after 3-5 days you should consult a pediatrician who can examine your child and make sure there is not a bacterial infection or other cause. If your child has fever, headache, nausea, dizziness, or vomiting, you should immediately seek medical help.
