2 Month Old Baby With Purple Dotty Rash?
1st of all my son has had 1 runny poo a day since his 8 weeks needles including the rotavirus drops, he has been to a doctor who sed to increase his fluids to keep him hydrated which ive been doing. 5days ago my 11 week old came up with purple flat spots on his legs. I took him straight to the hospital, where they did blood tests and started antibiotics through a drip just for precaution incase it was meningitis like they suspected. After 5 failed drips the 6th 1 they got blood and it came back clear. Then he developed a rash on his hand. They did another blood test and nothing came back so they did a culture test on it. My son was in hospital for 25hrs and no fever, lots of wet nappies ect. So he was alowed to come home and they put it down to a viral infection which they said let it run its course. I got a call the next day saying his blood grew staph but its so low they thinkk its contamination and his fine and just bring him back if the rash gets worse or any vommiting or a temperature. I wasnt happy with this so i told them to fax the info to my sons doctor. I went to teh doctors and he has put my son on antibiotics for precaution just incase he has staph and it wasnt a contamination. The rash on his hands was from him clenching his fists cos all teh marks equal up and the purple has faded but his whole body looks like when ur cold and you get the red rash looking type marks. The doc is also saying its viral because there is still no temp and baby is happy and feeding and sleeping fine.
Where could this rash come from?? and why does he have diarrhea?? I dont understand and im scared they have missed something, i know all teh bloods have been tested but im still worried.
Has anyone gone through this??could he have a bad reaction to the rota vaccine or would that have shown up in the blood??
Sounds viral or a small reaction, nothing to worry about at this stage, if baby becomes too hot and stops taking on fluids then go back and ask to have the new symptoms looked at.
Hello…look up images of HSP and see if it looks the same. My son just went through a bout of it. It has purple spots. Vasculitus problems like HSP cause purple spots. Also HSP can be triggered by vacinations.
HIV/AIDS may produce purple lesions on the body.
Make sure it isn’t MRSA!! It can be fatal to infants.
call the doctor or take the baby to the Doctor to get checked out, could be something major, and it would be better to be safe than sorry
HIV/AIDS may produce purple lesions on the body. my sisters friend had that and it was actually a reaction to her crib…see a doctor
