According to Mr. Google:
An exanthem is any eruptive skin rash that may be associated with fever or other systemic symptoms. Causes include infectious pathogens, medication reactions and, occasionally, a combination of both. In children, exanthems are most often related to infection and, of these, viral infections are the most common.
According to http://www.mommyfleur.com/2012/10/14/viral-exanthem/
Measles, German measles, Roseola, and many other viruses can cause a rash along with fever and other symptoms. This is a mild viral illness that causes a low-grade fever and light rash for 2-3 days. Uncomplicated viral exanthems are treated with bed rest, plenty of fluids, and paracetamol. Most of the time the rash clears up within 7 to 14 days as the rest of the symptoms improves. Blood platelet counts may show a little decline to normal values, but continued decrease in its count may point to a more serious infection.
You can pass virus infections on to others through being in close contact, so stay away from other people as much as possible until you are better. Call your doctor if you are not better after 4-5 days, or if you become worse You should see a doctor right away if you have a severe headache, a high fever, repeated vomiting or breathing probles.
Hopefully Zeke will be well soon. Buti na lang walang pasok sa school kaya makakapagpahinga sya ng husto. Hopefully sa monday when he return to school no more rashes na. Haizt!
