Fever and Rashes

Asked for Male, 7 months

My baby is having fever from the last morning later in the evening rashes or small red spot appeared on his face and then his neck. Initially we suspected it to be allergy but it may be measles. What precautions should I take?

Dear Patient,

Kindly send us photos or see a pediatrician immediately. These may be measles or chicken pox.
Kindly isolate him from other kids n adults who haven't had chicken pox. Change his bedding n clothes daily and wash them with dettol. Give him a daily bath with water boiled with neem leaves.
Apply calamine lotion all over his body to help with itching. Do not scratch rash with nails. Give syrup Calpol for fever. Give clear soups and soft diet.
