If there are any abnormalities, detailed examinations and treatment are needed.

What should I do if my child's rash doesn't come out?

If a child has a fever and the rash does not appear, timely and targeted treatment is needed. Generally, there is no need to worry if there are no symptoms.

How to tell if it's a rash

The first sudden onset of fever in a child since birth.

If your baby is between 6 and 18 months old and has not been left out to dry, and suddenly develops a high fever, the first thing to suspect is a rash.

The high fever reaches over 38°C, and there are no other obvious cold symptoms.

It's just a fever, with the temperature remaining between 38℃ and 40℃. Some young children may have a mild cough or runny nose, but there are no other obvious cold symptoms.

Routine blood tests showed no significant abnormalities.

Some parents may be worried and go to the hospital for a blood test, but the test results may not show anything abnormal.

Some people may have a white blood cell count slightly above or below the normal range, which is normal.

How to deal with rashes

Measure body temperature every half hour and perform physical cooling when fever is high.

If your child suddenly develops a fever, there is no need to panic. First measure the body temperature. If it exceeds 38.5℃, you can first use physical cooling methods to deal with it.

Put a cooling patch on the child's forehead and use alcohol to wipe the child's palms, soles of feet, neck, armpits and other hot areas.

This may be the most difficult time for parents. Measure the child's temperature every half an hour. If the temperature remains above 39°C and the child starts crying, getting irritable or even having convulsions, you can try using children's antipyretic drugs such as Motrin and Tylenol, and use sedatives if necessary.

Don't worry too much, comforting yourself is the key.

Some parents take their children to the hospital as soon as they see they have a fever. The doctor will eventually determine that it is a fever or pharyngitis and will prescribe some antipyretics. In fact, the doctor dare not conclude that it is a rash and dare not let the parents and children bear it. The medicine prescribed for you is actually a psychological placebo.

More than 80% of young children will experience the process of having a rash. When a rash appears, general medicines are ineffective against it. Giving children medicine can only serve as psychological comfort. So at this time, parents must comfort themselves and their families while comforting their children.
