body rash/measles? **update**

First, sorry I only post when LO is sick lately is been nonstop.

At daycare I picked him up abs he had a Runny nose, fever and a weird rash all over his body. see pic. He hasn't had any new meds or anything, could this be allergic reaction to something?

It looks to me like the measles pics they showed on the news this week, but I could be over reacting.

thoughts?

**update** just home from pedi and she said it does look like measles but he doesnt have anything on his throat (don't remember what the mark is called) so most likely hand foot mouth,hthe rash is 100000 times worse today, and covers his entire body, bright red. Just not his feet or mouth. ..lol I guess either way they can't do anything for a virus. :( hoping oatmeal baths soothe him!

    Waiting on pedi to call back. Is One of the vax measles? (Can't find his vac records at the moment) I thought that wasn't until the mmr, if so I feel better. But what the heck is this.

    Measles vax is in the MMR. So if he hasn't had that yet it's certainly possible.

    MMR = measles, mumps, rubella. It should have been the 12m round of vacc's (or so). If you guys are up to date its highly unlikely to be measles!

    ETA: keep us updated.  Maybe it a different viral infection?


    Ok so it was done at his 12 or 15 month appt. That makes me feel much better. Will let you know What pedi says, he already has an appt tomorrow, unless she has us come in tonight.

    Doesn't hurt to put a call into pedi but my assumption is that it is a viral infection that will have to run its course. Still have a fever now?

    Maybe roseola?

    Bout 10/100 after Tylenol. Hope they call back soon. Is roseola contagious?

    Looks like the rash my LOs got from a virus a few months ago. They had it all over -arms, trunk, legs, face. It didn't seem to bother them and it went away within 3-4 days.

    Other than his ears which were already a problem he didn't seem to be in pain from it or anything. I missed the Drs call so we will find out tomorrow afternoon

    The rash looks similar to the rash G had when she had strep.

    I thought roseola also, but like someone else said, the rash appears after the fever has broken.  Z had it over the summer, high fever for 3 days, runny nose, then once the fever was gone the rash appeared.  No appetite either.
