Specializes in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Vomiting/rash: Best to have him checked. Vomiting is a non specific symptom and may be associated with another illness such as strep. If the rash does not blanch it could be petechiae. This may be associated with a more serious illness or blood that is low in platelets. Have him checked and get it sorted out. All the best.
