Today Beau has come down with a fever of 102 degrees. He has also developed a strange rash. Any ideas on what is going on with him would be helpful. I have two theories. 1- The fever and rash are associated with a virus or 2-When we were at the Ranch, he was playing in some new sand. There might be something in it that he is allergic to. I put some Caladryl on him tonight in hopes to stop him from itching himself and causing further irritation. My poor baby!
Next morning: Last night Beau woke up at around 2am with a really bad croupy cough. It was so bad that he could hardly breath. We took him in the front room and set up the nebulizer and gave him a breathing treatment. That really helped him to relax and go back to sleep. This morning his fever is normal, but he is still itchy!
I finally thought to look in his mouth and it is dotted with spots too and his toungue has little raised bumps. wierd!
Day three: I have ruled out the allergy and decided that it is a virus. His tongue has now turned red.

Sounds like a question for a doctor. If he hadn't had a fever I would have given him some Benedryl for the allergic reaction but the combo confuses me.
Hope he gets better quickly!
ask the doctor... hope he gets feeling better! I love how blonde your kids are.
I wish it were chicken pox! Oh well. My kids got some kind of rashy virus years ago called fifth disease, which involves a rash and mild fever. Fifth disease usually starts with a rash on the cheeks, although my kids' rash wasn't as vivid as it usually is in others. Most rash viruses heal fairly quickly without intervention. Just keep him well tended and love him. Good luck!!
roseolla? but usually it's a high fever for a few days then the rash, which means it's over. looks like a virus of some sort.
