RE: Pressure bruise look- question

I recently took my son to his ped after I noticed little red dots on his

face, neck and chest after he had one of his coughing, fighting for breath

spells. He explanined the pressure of the episode burst vessels in those

areas and that what it was from. He also checked that he did not have them

on his legs because there is something similar that is more serious. But he

didn't have it on his legs and was not running a fever so he was not

concerned. But it wouldn't hurt to call your Doctor to check. Hope all is

well.
