What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Influenza?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hi, I have 3 chuildren 7,6 and 4. They all had flu like symptoms (runny nose, fever) mid week and only the 6 y.o had a fine, red rash over his torso (which he has had previously with fever). At Dr's on Friday, diagosed with just a virus. Saturday, all awoke with fine red rash around groin area and red spots around the mouth. Now rash is all over 4 y.o body and I'm getting worried! I don't want to look up anymore internet sites - they worry me more! Please help:-) Rose

There are many viral infections that cause rash in kids.usually mouth is also involved in hand foot and mouth disease which is also viral infection that is mild and natural immunity in kids will clear it in a week time but it is contageous means spread from one person to other very easily. You need not worry but maintain their nutrition ,as well as your self care and do the symptomatic treatment that dr has suggested.this is enough.you need to maintain hygiene also and till the symptoms are fully subsided dont send them to school and let them take adequate rest.
