Patient's question:
The child woke up with a rash at night, feverish, and nothing works after applying talcum powder and other cooling remedies. As a mother, I'm really at my wit's end. What should I do? Should I take them to the emergency room at night? The hospital is too far away. How should I care for the child?Doctor's answer:
Usually, the first consideration is acute childhood rash, which is typically a viral infectious disease. Isolation is usually performed. Oral antiviral solutions, pediatric ribavirin granules, Radix Isatidis granules, etc., are commonly used for antiviral treatment, and close monitoring of temperature changes is necessary. If the temperature is high, physical cooling or medication can be used.
