Red Bumps Around Eyes in my 4 month old

Red Bumps Around Eyes in my 4 month old

My son is 4 months old and has had a cluster of red raised bumps around each of his eyes. I called his doctor and she said that it could be a food allergy because we have been trying a lot of new baby foods. So I didn't give him any baby food for a whole week and they still haven't gone away. Now he has a fever assosiciated with them. They don't seem to itch him at all but he's also been crying a lot lately. Please help.

Hi,
The most common rash suddenly appearing on your child is rash due to a variety of viruses.These generic viral rashes can have many different appearances, such as lacy or pimply, raised or flat, bumps, spots, or blotches.
The most important thing to understand here is that if your child has a fever or is not feeling well, and breaks out in one of these generic rashes, then it is probably a harmless virus and nothing to worry about.
You can give him Benadryl liquid to ease the rash and itching if it is present.
If fever does not subside in 3-4 days or if it spikes or child develops any other symptoms then please do see a paediatrician immediately.
