What Causes Rashes On Legs While Having Dry Cough And Running Nose In A Child?
Question: My daughter said she has an ouchie, and pointed at her butt. The rash appears to go down her left leg. She has a dry cough thats been hanging on for about a week. Slight running nose on occasion that my wofe and i appear to be coming down with...
But what could this rash be? She had a rash a few weeks ago that was believed to be staph.
She has 3, has allergies and her IGE seems to stay around 500. Shes also had absolute lymphocytosis at her 2 year checkip which appeared mature. This has been lingering for a long time. I've read it could be caused by allergies. My wife and i have both been prescibed antibiotics for chronic sinusitis. Could we be passing MSSA around the house? A couple years ago i was tested for staph and came back negative for MRSA but moderate for MSSA
Any recommendations?
Thank you!
