Hello my son was sick and running a fever, then he ended up with a rash. I thought it was a fever rash at first but my sons buttocks was really bad that he had open sores. I took him to the ER and the doctor wasnt able to tell me what the rash was exactly. Of course by that night it was irritating my son and hard for him to sleep. I have been use Balmex, he has been doing naked time, and Ive been changing his diaper constantly. My concern is should I get a second opinion regarding this rash and should I take him back to daycare with this rash. The Doctor stated to give him 1 day but Im not sure if thats enough time
Hello, Thanks for the query, Probably he has developed chicken pox. It is better to avoid day care till the time the rashes Chat Doctor. Please apply an antibacterial cream on the rashes. This will prevent secondary bacterial infection. Also give him an antihistamine syrup. This will give him some relief. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
