Infant has trunk rrash after Pertussin remedy

This was suspected Pertussis in my older toddler who was given Pertussin 30C twice and recovered quickly. We gave it to our 5 month old who came down with a fever. Her fever subsided and during that same day or maybe the day before, she started to have a rash from her stools. Dotted red. some with a white head like a pimple (these white heads show up in moist warm area of the skin). It spread from her bottom up her back and sides, under her arms and up her neck. It is worse behind her ears. It is also on her scalp. Her mood is good. She is eating well and nursing well. She is exclusively breastfed.

Any advice? my homeopath is out of town until Tuesday.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

forgot to mention her stool are green and flaky kind like spinach looking. This is not her typical yellow breastfed stool. Also, her head has been sweaty.

Also to elaborate on the rash: it is dotted with many dots close together. They disappear for a second when pressed on (thought one dark teeny spot doesn't...this is on her back). She has yellow & whitish crusty stuff behind her ears as well.

Dear Erin

It should go away on its own in a few days which is likely if it was caused by the remedy. Another information is when you are taking the nosode as prophylaxis , the best potency is 200.
