Patient's question:
Problem Description: My child is 2 years and 2 months old. In the past two days, small red rashes have appeared on their body. After the rashes fall off, they are the same color as the skin.Doctor's answer:
The characteristics of the rash are small red spots scattered all over the body, with more on the trunk and fewer on the face, elbows, and knees. The rash appears within 24 hours and disappears completely within 1-2 days. After the rash fades, no marks are left. During the rash, lymph nodes in the neck, behind the ears, and at the back of the head may swell, but they are painless and gradually subside over several weeks after the fever subsides. Diagnosis can be made based on typical clinical manifestations. The main treatment is symptomatic management. Physical cooling and antipyretic drugs can be used during high fever, and sedatives can be given during restlessness and convulsions.
