Suggest Treatment For Cold With Phlegm In Baby

Hi, My 10 month old daughter was having fever and phelgm formation for last few days. We got her checked up by a pedoatrician, who prescribed meds for the same. The fever has almost dispappeared by yesterday, but cold/phlegm is still there. Today morning, we noticed tiny rashes all over her body, except the face. They look like the ones coming out of some allergic reactions. We are waiting till after noon to see if it gets worse, before running to hospital and loading the lil one with more meds. Please advice what this could be the result of.

Hi...by what you quote I feel it could be a viral illness with cough and cold. Am telling this because bacterial infections will not come down like that in matter of few days, though you have used antibioitcs. Even some antibiotics have the tendency to cause this type of rash and I suggest you take the kid to the pediatrician who has prescribed the antibiotic. Meanwhile the allergic rash you can give some over the counter anti-allergics.
