My 6 month old has a rash around his eyes. He seems to be his normal self, feeding well, smiling, laughing, playing, etc. Not acting out of the ordinary. He does, however, have a cough that he s had for a couple of months now that does not seem to want to go away, but we ve been to our pediatrician to have it looked at and they say he s perfectly healthy. What could this rash be and should I take him to the doc to have it looked at right away?
Hello, So right off the bat, has your child had a head injury of some sort? There are times when child Chat Doctor.  It looks more like bruising around the eyes. The second cause could be due to the constant cough. Any straining that happens such as cough or vomiting can break the capillaries that are just under the surface of the skin. So if he has had this cough for a couple of months, the rash could be from the straining. Do you happen to have a picture of the rash?
