Baby girl, 3 years old, had a fever yesterday. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Baby girl, 3 years old, had a fever yesterday, suddenly developed rashes on two nights, very itchy, they disappeared after a while. Now the fever has subsided, but the condition keeps recurring. Do I need a topical medication for allergies?

Doctor's answer:

I'm happy to serve you. Based on the description, it is possible that the child's rash is caused by a viral infection leading to infantile roseola. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a face-to-face consultation and blood tests to diagnose the virus infection. If it is a viral infection, it is suggested to give the child oral antiviral medication, drink more water, and carefully observe. For now, avoid giving the child fish, shrimp, eggs, and other easily allergenic foods.
