A member asked:

My toddler has flat, red spots all over her arms & a few on her legs. we assumed bug bites as she woke up with them yesterday morning. however, since this morning, she's been up and down with a high fever. i'm not sure if it's related. any ideas?

I would advise seeing Pediatric urgent care or your physician right away. The fever usually represents an infection and the rash may ea viral or bacterial rash. The latter requires antibiotic therapy. From your description, MRSA should be considered. Watch for prolonged fever, swelling of joints and extremities and red eyes. A virtual consultation with HT is available.
