Patient's question:
The baby is now nine and a half months old. On the afternoon of the 23rd, she had a high fever and took fever-reducing medicine, which made her better. However, by 6 a.m. on the 24th, it started again. The doctor said her throat was red and she had a slight cold, but she wasn’t coughing or sneezing (except when crying?). On the 24th, she wore a fever patch and took cold medicine, and her fever subsided by evening. Her temperature was normal at night, but she developed red spots on her body. At first, they appeared on her abdomen and back. By the morning of the 25th, there were a few on her neck, behind her ears, and on her head. The doctor checked to see if it was a rash.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, after applying a fever reducer patch and taking cold medicine, the fever subsided by the evening, and the temperature returned to normal at night. However, red spots appeared on the body. At first, they were on the abdomen and back, and by the morning of the 25th, they had spread to the neck, behind the ears, and on the head. This course of the illness and the child's age are quite similar. This is likely a viral rash, but it is still necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to assess the specific condition and confirm the diagnosis.
