Patient's question:
Male, 3 years old, my child has recently had a cold and fever, with persistent coughing and runny nose. The condition has been fluctuating. What are the symptoms of a rash in babies?Doctor's answer:
Rash first appears with the following symptoms:1. Temperature reaches 39—40°C, but the child is in good condition.
2. Sometimes high fever convulsions may occur, but some children may also have symptoms such as coughing, swollen cervical lymph nodes, and ear pain.
Around 4 days after onset, the second stage begins, with symptoms including:
1. Temperature returns to normal rapidly.
2. Appearance of small, clear pink spots on the skin, mostly arranged on the head and torso, lasting for about 4 days.
Healthy children rarely develop complications, but immunocompromised children may experience complications such as hepatitis or pneumonia.
Because meningitis is similar to infantile exanthem, doctors will conduct further tests to rule out bacterial meningitis.
