Q: my 20 month old has red cheeks with spots all over her torso. she also has a cough and runny nose. is this a virus or does it need to be seen by a doc?

Likely viral: Many viruses produce a rash &amp; few bacterial illnesses would present as you describe. As long as the kid is taking fluids well and playing some you can monitor this at home.
