What Is The Cause Of Red Patches On Skin With High Fever In An Infant?
sir, my son has completed 9 months & now i'm massaging him with olive oil. initially i was using coconut oil. for the last one week he is suffering from high fever. dr. gave fever medicines later it turned into measles & now into allergy. apparently his whole body is covered with red patches. pls advice me wat to do
hello i have read your query. first of all i want to ask is your baby has given MMR vaccine as it is given at the age of 9 months.measels is caused by virus so antibiotis wont work.usually it subsides by its own within 2 weeks.in the meanwhile you can do the symptomatic treatment. paracetamol can be given for fever.dont stop breastfeeding.Offer your baby plenty of fluids to bring down his fever and prevent dehydration.Make sure your baby gets plenty of rest. hope this ans helps.take care
