fever and pink spots

[Momma Net]

My daughter in Cameroon, Africa has a headache and fever every afternoon; she has had malaria tests which were negative.  She has pink spots on her trunk.  There have been some cases of dengue fever in the area, but she says it starts with rashes on hands and feet.  Anybody have any ideas?

It sounds like a heat rash.  Heat is at the highest in the afternoons and can cause headaches, low grade fever, nausea, visual disturbances, and a rash like tiny red spots.  If this occurs every afternoon, this may be her problem.  She really should see a doctor, preferably in the afternoon when she is having the problem.
