hi, my 1 year old boy has woke is body up one morning with a temperature and a few bright pink spots.... its been 5 days and now they are all over his body, face and ears.... his temperature keeps creeping up and calms down with paracetamol ... he is very restless at night and has lost his appetite by half. what could this be and should I be worried?
Hello
Fever with rash in this age is commonly due to viral infection. Give paracetamol only for fever as NSAIDS may cause harm to the baby in some viral infections. You can give paracetamol 6 hrly, also do tepid sponging to control the temperature. During fever intake may decrease, so give plenty of fluids and continue feeding. Consult your physician for proper laboratory and clinical evaluation.
