Question
My daughter is 3 years old. She had a fever yesterday and got a rash last night, which was very itchy. It went away quickly, but now she has no fever. She is restless and has intermittent symptoms. Do I need to apply an antihistamine cream?
Answer
Based on the described situation, it is suspected that the child may have contracted pediatric exanthema due to viral infection. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a blood test to rule out viral infection. If viral infection is confirmed, it is suggested to give the child oral antiviral medication, drink plenty of water, and carefully observe without giving her fish, shrimp, eggs, and other allergenic foods that are easy to cause allergic reactions.
