5. Rashes
It’s a scenario that every parent dreads. Finding an unexplainable rash on their child. Human nature dictates that they always jump to the worst-case scenario when this happens and it doesn’t take long at all for the glass tumblers test to come out for an airing. After checking and double-checking, obtaining second and third opinions, parents usually seek medical advice for rashes. This is wise, however, the truth is that the majority of rashes are not indicative of impending death.
Many can be telltale signs of fairly manageable illnesses and diseases, such as adenovirus. If at any point anyone becomes concerned over a rash, or if a previously nonalarming rash becomes worrying, medical advice or emergency care should be sought, if only to put minds at rest. The rash for adenovirus is pretty unmistakable when you compare it with samples on the internet, and once this has been established, the panic can stop and the care can start.
