My daughter is 9 and has recently been diagnosed with phenounia. she has not run a fever for the past week but still is taking albuteral inhaler every 4 hours. several days ago she developed a blotchy skin rash that sometimes itches. how ever it comes and goes. Is it possible that she is having a reaction to her inhaler?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of fever and skin rash which is due to viral infection mainly due to herpes, and it is due to poor immunity of body. Need not worry. I would suggest you to apply calamine lotion on these rashes. You should take antiviral medication such as Acyclovir. Take plenty of fluids and avoid intake of any outside food. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after examination. In some cases it will develop bacterial infection as well, so you should apply mupirocin gel on these sores and take antibacterial medication. You can go for application of retinoid cream over the affected area with proper medical supervision. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
