My 3 year old had a runny nose and slight cold symptoms that started on tues night this morning she woke up with welts on one butt check and after I picked her up after work she has welts on her other butt check but no where else on her body. We have not given her any new foods and soaps or anything like that.
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cold, running nose and welts on butt which seems to be due to mainly upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to allergic reaction as well. Need not worry. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician once. Doctor may order certain test like nose or throat culture and test, blood test and chest X-ray to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other condition like viral infection. Get pulmonary function tests done as well to check extent of infection and start treatment accordingly. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and decongestants. You should take cough expectorants as well. Use mist humidifiers in room. Do warm saline gargles. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
