Are Loose Motion Medicines Causing Body Rash In A Child?
Hi Doctor, My 8 months old son has been having loose motion since last Saturday. He had sever diaper rashes which has now reduced to some extent. Last Wednesday he had high temperature in the night (102 degree F) after which we started Tylenol. From Friday, he started developing rashes all over his body including his face. His fever has come down, but all the remaining symptoms are still there. Please advice what could be the cause for this.

Hi,
The rash could be a viral exanthem or a hypersensitivity reaction to a drug. Viral exanthem could lead to systemic involvement. So, I request you to immediately visit the Dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and for initiating the treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
