About Rash
A rash is a change of the skin that can affect its color, appearance or texture. It could be localized to just one part of the body, or cover the entire body. They can cause the skin to change color, itch, become warm, bumpy, dry, cracked, blistered, swell and might be painful. Rashes can be caused by any number of things from allergic reactions to measles. If a rash persists for more than a couple days, you should see a medical professional immediately as it may be a sign of something worse. Usually some calamine lotion does the trick though.
About Fever
A fever is defined as a temperature of 1 degree or more above the normal 98.6 F. They can occur due to many different reasons. Some reasons include illness like scarlet fever, swine flu, and even hay fever (if your sinuses become infected). Illness from mosquitoes such as Dengue Fever and Malaria can cause severe fevers.Fevers can be symptoms of many diseases and conditions and are the body's attempt to get rid of toxins in the body. When a fever 'breaks', or goes down, it is often a sign that the disease has been overcome. Fevers can be dangerous if extreme.
