Does high fever, rashes, and skin peeling indicate dengue?
Hello doctor,
My 6-year-old daughter has got mild rashes all over her body. It is associated with a high fever. She got such rashes twice earlier that have stayed for seven to nine days. After the rashes subside, the skin around her elbows, knees, and fingertips is peeling. What could be the reason for the rashes and skin peeling?
Kindly advise.

Can antibiotics be prescribed for recurring fever?
Hi doctor,
My son is 15 months old. Three days back, he had a fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit with wheezing and coughing. Now we are using P250 syrup, ATM, and Ascoril DS along with two times nebulization a day. Yesterday he was good, but again fever has recurred today. Should I start giving Meftal P or Clamp syrup now?
His weight is only 20.94 lbs. Does he look underweight?

What causes high fever with cough and runny nose in a kid?
Hello doctor,
My 2-year-old son has high fever since last night. I gave 5 ml of 100 mg Nurofen syrup. It helped but did not bring the fever fully down. He had another dose of syrup this morning, for the same issue. He has wet diapers, passed stools, ate a bit but not much, drinks water and is breastfed. He has a bit of cough (wet) and a very runny nose. We did bloodwork. Any thoughts?
