Just wondering if you have ever heard of Kawasaki Disease. It includes high fever and rash all over the body...plus other symptoms...very common, but never mentioned. If untreated within 10 days of the fever starting, it could permanently damage your child's heart leading to heart disease. Note: The fever and rash will go away and you will think your child is recovering just fine, but in truth, they need to be checked out by a Cardiologist. This happened to my son when he was 1 1/2 years old. Luckily, we caught it on day five ....no heart damage. PLease,please,please have your child's heart checked out. He was misdiagnosed by his doctor (Hand Foot and Mouth) but the ER knew right away that he had Kawasaki Disease.
