His temp is 103--don't worry about other symptoms now-please call his dr. asap, or go to the ER! That is a high temp for his age. His rash-might be the start of chicken pox, or something else, please, get him to the dr NOW!. Take care.

This is serious, and you should rush the child into the urgent care a.s.a.p. because it sounds like a serious dangerous virus, that can lead to serious illness. Dont gamble w/a childs life when a temp is as high as 103 or more...

Take him to the emergency room tonight! No child should have a fever over 101. 103 is TOO HIGH for him & his body not to mention his brain!! Something is wrong!! IF it goes to 104 it WILL cause to brain damage the brain can't handle that kind of heat!! GO to the ER now!!!! It's seroius!!!!

If the child has a rash and a 103 degree fever shouldn't you be taking him or her to the doctor and asking the doctor what it is?

The presence of a rash with a fever is worrisome, even if the fever is reduced. Take this child to a Pediatrician ASAP.

Could be small pox - chicken pox. But with a temp of 103 take him to the doctor or emergency. 103 is nothing to mess with - it's "cooking" his brain
The ramifications of not doing so - convulsions, coma, scarlet fever, or worse. sometimes death

Get him to the doctors... NOW, a child shouldn't have that high of a fever, the brown patch could be a heat blister.

Sounds like a call to the pediatrician is in order. i don't like the sound of that temperature.
