Patient's question:
The other day, I had a fever for three days with repeated episodes. The day before yesterday, the fever broke, and I developed red spots on my body, similar to eczema, but not on my face. My baby vomited yesterday and has a slight cough.Previous Treatment and Effects:
Yesterday, I took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was rubella, but others told me it was chickenpox. I’m really worried and need your help.
What I’m asking:
I want to know what the actual disease is. I’m so upset and worried.
Doctor's answer:
Based on your child's symptoms, this is called roseola, which is usually characterized by the appearance of a rash after the fever subsides. It commonly occurs in infants aged 6 months to 1 year, with the rash primarily appearing on the trunk, waist, and buttocks. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that treatment methods such as expelling wind and clearing heat, as well as clearing heat and generating fluids, can be used based on different specific symptoms. Additionally, it is important to ensure quiet rest, avoid exposure to wind and cold, and maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy foods. This is particularly important for mothers to pay attention to. The above suggestions are for the question "Baby has red spots after fever." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
