What Causes Cough , Congestion And Red Spots On The Scalp Of A Baby?
hi my 5 month old baby has a cough, congestion, and is now getting little red spots on his scalp, forehead, back, and chest. I believe they are starting to itch because he scrattched the one on his forehead and broke the skin. Could this be chicken pox or something else?
