Question
My child woke up with a rash all over and a fever at night. Applying cooling powders and other cooling substances didn’t help. As a mother, I don’t know what to do. Should I take the child to the emergency room at this time? But the hospital is a bit far. How should I care for my child?
Answer
Generally, the first consideration is pediatric acute rash, which is usually a viral infectious disease. Isolation treatment is usually recommended. Additionally, oral antiviral medications such as ribavirin granules for children and platycodon granules can be considered for antiviral treatment, while closely monitoring temperature changes. If the temperature is too high, physical cooling methods can be used, and coolingmedications can also be considered.
