3yrs boy 33pond, has been given penadol against high fever every night for month, red rash on face, arm, legs. come with fever, fade in morning. no itchy.  apetite ok. criple walk, swell ankle, no pain.

Accepted Answer

Have child seen!: All of these symptoms are very concerning for a serious problem. Fevers, rash, joint pain and swelling sound like a systemic inflammatory condition such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. However other things such as certain infections, allergies or exposures can cause these problems. Please be sure this child sees a physician right now to explore the history, exam and do right diagnostic studies.

Question 5

slight itchy  rash on face after using patanase... is this a reaction and should i stop using it?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Patanase is an anithistamine type nasal spray approved for treating allergies.  It would be unlikely for this to cause a rash.  If the medications is stopped and rash resolves, then medication is restarted and rash reoccurs, this suggests the medication. Other causes are more likely.  Also nice to have many medications available to treat allergies.

Expected: Acnes is a common side effects after high dose of prednisone. It will go away with time but if it bothers you a lot, ask your doctor to prescribe a retinoid cream for you.

Question 9

i am experiencing rash on face, eyelid swelling, eyelid redness, rash with itchiness, that is crusty, with flaking or scaling, and without blisters, that is not red or bluish purple, that is not ring shaped, that is not bumpy, drooping eyelid on both side

Accepted Answer

Dr. can examine skin: Skin rashes are hard to describe with words. A rash that looks worrisome, lasts more than a few days, or is recurring should be examined by a primary care doctor or a dermatologist. A doctor can start treatment, or can do additional testing if the diagnosis is uncertain. Face rashes include allergic reactions, seborrhea, sunlight reactions, etc... Sometimes internal disease can cause face rashes.

Question 10

i am experiencing  rash on chest, rash on back, neck pain, rash (quality: itchiness, blisters, flaking or scaling, bumpy)  and skin redness or irritation. the following also describe me: pimples, blackheads, rash on face, and stress. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: If these issues have been present for more than 3 or 4 days and are not improving, you need to consult your doctor (preferably a dermatologist).  If you are getting better, you may wait a few more days and observe how things go. I am concerned over the neck pain  however.
