My 15 month old daughter has a cough, runny nose, rash on her torso, temperature of 39 c (hot head and torso) but extremely cold hands and feet. Doctor said it is just a virus, but I am not convinced. She is restless and miserable. Doctor said cannot give her anything to help her, but I feel he didnt really examine her. Is this correct?
His understand your concerns but do not worry. Many viral infections or exanthems can lead to such symptoms in toddlers. But a complete clinical evaluation to rule out bacterial infection is necessary. I would recommend you to go for a repeat clinical evaluation. Lab tests such as complete blood counts, C reactive protein and chest X-Ray will be of help. If viral then the illness is self limiting. It will improve by good rest, HY Chat Doctor. If bacterial, then an antibiotic course will be required as per reports. Take care
