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?

Children often have a fever with rashes. they usually require a pediatrician to examine the rashes to establish a diagnosis. the infections range from chicken pox to measles. I would advise you to visit your local doctor.
