my 6year old son has developed a rash, which is not itchy and initially started on his legs and arms, 4 days ago. it has now spread to the rest of his body including the face and its blotchy and clear when touched. today his penis started to swell and looks bruised. I have given him an antihistamine. I saw a doctor yesterday who gave no exact diagonsis but stated that it was a virus of sorts and if it got worse to go back
Hi, it seems that your son is having viral infection, measles. You immediately consult either dermatologist or pediatrician. He will examine clinically and if needed he will investigate to rule out other diseases. Encephalitis, Otis media, bronchitis and pneumonia are the complications of measles. So, good care should be taken to prevent them. There is no specific treatment for the measles. The following may relieve symptoms:Acetaminophen restVitamin A supplement. Anti histamines to relieve itching... If needed, antibiotics may be given..... Ok Chat Doctor.
