Suggest Treatment For Painful Rash In Children
Question: My daughter woke up with this painful rash? What is this she is 8
Brief Answer:
Looks like urticaria - I have a few questions for you
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
By what you quote and by the images I have seen, it should be an urticarial or a simple skin allergy.
You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose every 6th to 8th hourly for 7-10 days. Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your paediatrician.
But if the elevated lesions are turning white like pus filled pustules, it needs medical attention.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
