Question
The baby turned one on January 7th this year. Starting from the afternoon of December 30th, the baby began to have a fever. On the evening of December 31st, the fever reached its peak at 40 degrees, accompanied by seizures. On January 2nd, the body temperature returned to normal, and sparse rashes were found on the body. On January 5th, the rashes began to diminish, but on January 6th, cold symptoms appeared with nasal congestion. On January 7th, medical treatment was sought and diagnosed as bronchitis. As of January 9th, the rashes on the legs are the most prominent, with rashes also present on the face, hands, and feet. Besides the cold symptoms, the baby’s mental state has significantly improved and is smiling. However, the rashes have not subsided; instead, they have increased in number. After researching information, parents found that generally, acute infantile rash usually subsides after three days. But the baby has already exceeded a week with no sign of rash subsidence. They would like to inquire if this does not belong to acute infantile rash?
Answer
Acute infantile rash usually appears after the fever subsides on the third or fourth day after onset. However, the baby’s rashes have been persistent for a week and are increasing in number, accompanied by cold symptoms. This may not be acute infantile rash but could be caused by viral infections such as EB virus or adenovirus. It is recommended to undergo respiratory virus testing. If the baby only has rashes and is in good mental condition with no signs of liver or spleen enlargement or lymph node swelling, they usually subside on their own after all rashes have appeared.
