What causes fever in a child after being treated for lung infection?
Patient: Hi there, my three year old had a lung infection and was treated with orilox for 7 days. He still has a fever and red bumps that comes and goes over his body. he s also a little light sensitive and complains of a headache. Can there still be an infection after antibiotics? Should i take him to the ER? Doctor: Hi... by what you say I feel that this could be a viral illness. Fever with Rash is usually a sign of viral illness. But the kid should be active in between two fever episodes and he should not be sick. If he is not well in between two fever episodes and is sick looking, I suggest you take him to the emergency room.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
