Patient's question:
The child always breaks out in a rash the day after a fever. This isn't the first time it's happened, and it's happened several times before. This time, the fever is high, and the doctor said it's a viral fever. The child got an injection, and this morning the temperature was 37.4. Then, the child has a rash all over. The temperature has been 37.4 all day. What should we do? When will the rash go away? The child can eat and play and seems fine.Doctor's answer:
First, consider that rubella is a viral infectious disease, and its symptoms are usually mild. Children with rubella generally do not require special treatment. When the temperature is high, some antipyretic drugs can be used. During the fever period, the child should rest in bed, be given liquid and semi-liquid easily digestible food, drink more water to help expel toxins and reduce swelling, and maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the skin and mouth at all times. If low-grade fever does not subside or other abnormal conditions such as lung infection occur again, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for examination and resolution. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does the child always develop a rash after each fever?" and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
