What could vomiting and red spots in mouth indicate?
Patient: My 5 yr old daughter has red flat spots around her mouth.  They are pin point in size.  She threw up this morning out of the blue.  She has no fever and has been vaccinated but she hasn't gotten her 5 yr shots (turned 5 in March 2011).  Should I be worried? Doctor: Hello,I can understand your concern. The red flat spots around mouth indicates presence of allergic reaction or viral infection. As she is vomiting too, it seems more like to be a viral infection. I would advise you to visit a pediatrician for the physical examination and investigations regarding viral infection. Confirmed diagnosis and treatment can be based on the test reports. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish your daughter feels better soon.Best,Dr. Viraj Shah
