A member asked:

My 6 year old son has a unexplained bruising on his lower back this the scound time he has had it and it comes with a bad cough and low fever?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor: Bruising with fever and cough can be an indication of low platelets, and other hematologic abnormalities that can happen with infections. See a doctor, asap.
