A eleven-month-old baby develops a high fever for three days and then appears a small number of red spots on the face, what should be done?

Patient's question:

At eleven months, the baby developed a high fever which persisted for three days, followed by the reappearance of a very small amount of red spots on the face. How can one distinguish between a drug rash and roseola?
Treatment history and effectiveness: The baby was given anti-inflammatory medication and fever-reducing injections.

Doctor's answer:

Guidance: Infantile eczema refers to eczema that recurs in infants under 2 years old. It is a common and prevalent condition among infants. Soft pure cotton clothing should be worn, and gloves may be worn at night if necessary to prevent scratching. In severe cases, oral antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine can be taken. Generally, applying Eczema Cream externally is sufficient. Once it improves, avoid frequent use, although it may recur, it will naturally improve with age. Do not worry.
