What Causes Red Pimples On Baby S Body?

Our 10 month old baby has a few (maybe 5) little red dots on her skin, they look like pimples, and tonight, she threw up. She otherwise acted normally (ate fine, wasn t running a fever, not irritable or overly drowsy). However, we ve noticed that what started as one pimple has expanded to about 5 in the last few days. They are in different places on the body (arm, leg, face, hand). We recently came back from Cancun and we had bug bites, but baby didn t seem to have any. Don t know if this is relevant, but I thought I d mention it. thanks!

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi....by what you quote I feel they this could be a viral illness with exanthema or skin eruptions and changes. If the baby is active is feeding well and voiding well, you need not worry.

But if the baby is dull or lethargic or refusing feeds and voiding very less frequently you need to take her to emergency room immediately.
