Patient's question:
Fevered and developed red spots after taking medicine—is it due to the medication?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Had a fever of 38.9°C, did a blood test which indicated a viral infection, took many medications, the fever subsided, but then it returned to 37.6°C at night the next day. Later, the doctor prescribed other medications, and the fever resolved, but I developed red spots all over my body.
What kind of help do you want: Want to ask if it was caused by the medication.
Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is very likely to be roseola, a respiratory infectious disease caused by a viral infection. However, it is not ruled out that the rash could be due to a drug allergy. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital's pediatric department and have a doctor examine and diagnose the condition. If it is roseola, it generally has a recovery period and does not require special treatment. If it is a drug rash, measures for antiallergic treatment should be taken.
