Patient's question:
Baby had a fever two days ago at 9 months and took ibuprofen suspension drops and cefixime granules. Then, they had a fever reducer and later experienced some vomiting and diarrhea, taking probiotics which haven't helped yet. Today, they noticed many red spots on their chest and back, which feel like subcutaneous.Please ask the doctor what this is and what to do. They have taken fever reducer and probiotics, but what caused this and what should be done?
Doctor's answer:
If the baby has a fever for three days and then develops a rash after the fever subsides, it is possible that it could be roseola. If the fever duration is relatively short and the rash appears again, it could also be due to contagious factors or allergic factors causing the rash. Therefore, it is still recommended to take the child to a local hospital for a doctor's examination to determine the best possible cause. Currently, it is still necessary to check the blood test and have a chest X-ray to consider the possibility of a cold being more likely. Pay close attention and observe carefully. If necessary, intravenous treatment can be administered.
