"My son (9 years old) has red spots on his legs and a high fever. What should I do?"

If your child has red patches on their legs and a high fever that doesn't go down with Advil, it may be a sign of something more serious such as strep throat. It would be a good idea to take your child to see a doctor, especially if the fever persists for more than 48 hours or if they are extremely fatigued. You can consider visiting a family doctor or an urgent care clinic for evaluation and treatment.
