my almost 3 year old daughter has been un well on and off for weeks,at first she had a viral infection and a water infection and a chest infection and was given antibiotics,she got better for a week or so then had a nasty cough and cold,tokk her back to docs to be told its a viral infection and to give her calpol,a few days later she came out in a rash on her tummy and back and sore puffy bags under her eyes and a blotchy face,took her back to the docs again was told its a viral rash,a week later she is no better and is now complaining of it hurting when she urinates,she looks quite sore down there,could this be another water infection and what do u think to the blotchy face?
Hi...by what you quote I feel that your kid is going through a viral illness. These non-specific symptoms along with fever and blotchy face are pointing towards this. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Regards -
