Question
What’s going on if there’s a rash on the second day after the fever subsides in a child with viral pharyngitis?
Answer
If the rash appears only after the fever has subsided, it is definitely a symptom of infantile rash disease. Such rashes do not require treatment and will fade on their own within 2 to 3 days. There is no need to avoid wind or stay indoors; it’s okay for the child to go out and about.
