im tore all to pieces my 22 month old had a sandpaper feeling type rash thats been there 4 2 weeks . a few days prior to the rash he had a slight caugh and stuffy nose. his dr said it was a viral rash. then a few days later developed a temp of 103. we took him back to the ped. she said he had a upper respitory infection and fluid in his left ear, she prescibed omnicef. the rash seems to be more prominent now. im very worried. she did a cbc and the white count was 15000 and the platelets were slightly elevated. she wasnt worried though and said it was a viral rash, let it run its course. so? i dont know if i should be worried or not>help

Many viruses can cause many unsightly and even painful, itchy rashes.That usually is a sure sign of the presence of a virus. But in this case, I would want to make sure it is not an allergic reaction to the omnicef. If you are ever unsure or have more questions, call them again. If you don't want to call them again, call a nurse line if your insurace has one. I always call my babys doctors office about any thing I have a question about. They recently put off referring him to an ent because she said his ears were clear. He finally saw the ent 4 days later and had double ear infections...surprise! go with your instinct.
