What Causes Backache And Rashes On The Chest Of A Toddler?
my two year old has been warm/hot (don t have a thermometer) since about 2. gave him ibuprofen at 2:30. still warm at 6, so gave him tylenol. he is just a bit warm but certianly fussier than normal. he has slept a bit. says his back hurts. he does have some small red dots on his chest, neck and face, but not a lot of them. they look like small bug bites, so i didn t htink much of them. any thoughts? thanks!

Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor'. I have read your query and here is my advice.
With these symptoms your toddler most likely has a viral illness. Many viruses can cause fever, a red rash of different sizes, and muscle inflammation(back pain).
Should he have a viral sickness, it ought to run its course in 3-5 days.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.
