Good Morning, Just a Quick Question...My son woke up today with both elbows inflamed, and red rashes on them...any Ideals on what may have caused this? He said they were a little itchy last nite, so not sure what is going on. He has had a cold for the past few days and has been drinking alot of OJ as well as taking EmergenC. Thanks for the insight.

Rash on elbows can be an indicator of having the measles - often the first place it shows up & then can spread. I got measles, for the 2nd time, at age 21, had nasty cold & flu like symptoms first which were pretty severe - high fever etc. then rash on elbows & can't remember what else but that was the beginning. You might want to just check that out to make sure. Good luck.
