Patient: my 28 month old daughter came home from the in-house day care yesterday with a fever, was fine when i dropped her off. her nose was runny and dried on her face, after her bath i gave her childrens benedryl 5ml and childrens motrin 5 ml she barely wanted to drink anything, she had a small snack and went to sleep while i ran erands. she was not warm when we got home. while sleep she woke up with a fever at 330am i dont have a thermometer gave motrin she woke up at 830am ready to play and very happy all day til went to bed at 8 for 2 hours warm gave motrin and benedryl she ate now she is sleep for the night. i noticed a rash on her legs looks like a little bite on the front of her right thigh, thighs and legs have small raised bumps??? Doctor: Hi,This as a viral upper respiratory tract infection (cold with rash is mostly viral origin). Nothing to worry. Continue benadryl (this will also relieve any itching from the rash) and motrin (more aptly paracetamol) for 3 days. You can apply calamine lotion over the rash 2 times a day to soothe the area. Most probably she will be fine by then.If fever is not coming down by then or if she develops breathing difficulty,  kindly take her to doctor.Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
