Advice required for a week long cough, rashes on body and reduced appetite
Patient: hello my 8 year old son has had a cough for about a week which i had to treat with his inhalers he also complained of headaches vomitted once and has npw come out in a rash on his face back and legs...he suffers from chronic lung disease due to being born at 27 weeks..hes drinking lots of fluids and has a small appetite... Doctor: Hi... by what you quote I feel that this could be a viral illness which is presenting itself like this Rash. This cough and cold could also be because of the same viral infection. I suggest you to continue the inhaler which you are currently using. I also suggest you to get the kid examined by your pediatrician. I am telling this keeping in mind your kids chronic lung disease.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
