Hi i have 7 1/2 month twins one has red spots (which look like insect bites) and mild rash over arms, legs and stomach with a cold (2 days ago she had a temprature) her brother has a temprature sore throat and runny nose, could they have chicken pox although im not aware of meeting anyone with it? They are both miserable and crying lots but my daughter seems a little brighter this afternoon.
Your baby probably suffering from viral exanthem.(due to adenovirus, chickenpox, measles, or herpes infection), Give paracetamol for fever, OTC anti cough cold combinations. If no relief within 3-5 days consult pediatrician. For further queries regarding this disease or its medications you may consult me at Chat Doctor under section "Ask Expert" >>>"Ask Pediatrician".
