Patient's question:
My baby has had a fever for several days recently, and after the fever subsided, he developed bumps, which were said to be rashes. What are the symptoms and care methods for infantile rashes?Doctor's answer:
Fever suddenly drops after 3 to 5 days, but the temperature will return to normal within 24 hours. The fever subsides at the same time or later, and an outbreak occurs. The rash is maculopapular, scattered, with a diameter of 2 to 5 millimeters, and it fades under pressure, rarely coalescing. The rash usually first appears on the face, neck, and trunk, then gradually spreads to the proximal limbs. After 1 to 2 days, the rash disappears without residual marks, peeling, or hyperpigmentation.After high fever, it's essential to supplement children with probiotics because several days of high fever can kill the beneficial bacteria in the gut. After the rash disappears, children may feel weak, and some may even develop diarrhea. Therefore, it's crucial to supplement probiotics and pay attention to diet, providing light and easily digestible foods.
