What should I do if my baby has a fever, the fever has gone down, but there are small red spots on their body and head?

Patient's question:

The baby has recurrent fever followed by small red spots after fever reduction. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Erbin Granules, Ibuprofen. What kind of help is needed: Help the baby get better.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, you have infantile roseola. The main symptoms are high fever lasting for 3 to 4 days, which suddenly subsides, followed by pink maculopapular rash all over the body. Don't worry, as the fever breaks and the rash appears, it indicates that the infantile roseola has entered its later stage. It is recommended to give the baby more water to facilitate sweating and urination, promoting the excretion of toxins. A light diet is advisable, and you can drink more rice porridge. Meat should be avoided for the time being. Infantile roseola is a self-limiting illness, and treatment does not require the use of antibiotics. Proper care and symptomatic treatment should be provided, and it will improve on its own within a few days.
