Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

It is looking like a viral fever with features of upper respiratory tract infection.

You can give Tylenol syrup in prescribed dose for fever.

For rash, apply calamine lotion externally for soothing effect.

Consult the pediatrician for physical examination to look for any focus of bacterial infection in the throat which will require antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.

Hi,

Thanks for your query to Health Care Magic

Yes, you are right it is time for your baby to develop second molar teeth as they usually appear between 20 -30 months of age but it is unlikely that her fever and rash is because of dentition.

It seems she has develop some kind of infection most probably of viral origin.

You can give her anti-pyretic like paracetamol for fever but better get her evaluated by pediatrician for better care.

Hope that answers your query.

Wishing your baby a quick recovery.

Take Care :)
