If your child gets a rash anywhere on the body while having a temperature of 38°C (100°F) or higher, consult the questionnaire above. A common infectious child sickness is frequently indicated by this set of symptoms. The majority of the time, home remedies can be employed to cure these viral infections. But you should speak with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis if your child is under a year old.
CAUTION!
Warning signs
The vast majority of the time, children recover from contagious diseases of childhood without the need for special medical care, without complications, or with no long-term issues. The viruses that cause these illnesses can, however, travel to the central nervous system in a tiny percentage of children, causing encephalitis or meningitis, or they can promote bacterial infections of the lungs and ears.
In addition to the rash and elevated temperature, your kid should see a doctor right away if any of the following risk indications appear.
- Abnormal sleepiness
- Refusing to drink
- Earache
- Unusually rapid breathing
- Breathing loudly
- Sever headache
