My son had respiratory disease associated with fever and cough. He got some petichea spots on his body. Can they be caused by forceful coughing? I don’t know how dangerous it can be. He’s still on antibiotics. Should I pay more attention on petichea?
My child also had petechia when was sick. He wasn’t coughing. In fact, this can be caused by low platelet count in blood. You should check it. I think that you should pay attention in any change that happens during illness, and to report it to your pediatric.
