Are Red Hot Patches On Skin Of A Teenager With Fever Harmful?
My 14 yr old son has had 103 degree fever all day without any other symptoms. I have given him medicine to reduce the fever but nothing is working. He just came to me with patches of skin that is red and hot to the touch. Should I take him to urgent care?
