Brief Answer: Seems like allergic rash Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for writing again. I saw the image you had attached. It looks like allergic or viral rash . It doesnt seem like any serious bacterial or fungal rash. You can continue the drops you are giving now and apply some moisturising lotion locally available. It should settle soon. Wishing your daughter speedy recovery. Regards Dr Arun.

Brief Answer: You can try atarax or benadryl allergy formula Detailed Answer: Hi You need not give her medicine until complete disappearance of rash. Once she is better you can stop it. Atarax and benadryl allergy would be better next time. Regards Dr Arun
