Answer
Pediatric exanthema has the characteristic of self-healing and a good prognosis. The basic principle of treatment is symptomatic treatment. During high fever, physical cooling methods should be used, and antipyretics should be used appropriately to prevent febrile convulsions. The child should rest in bed, ensure adequate fluid intake, consume easily digestible foods, and appropriately use cooling and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine, such as Platycodon grandiflorus decoction, Qingjie Mixture, or antiviral oral liquid, etc. These are the suggestions provided, hoping they can help you.
