Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Praveen G's Response
Hello, Welcome to HCM,
As your grandson is having the symptoms which are suggestive of some allergic reaction which is causing all these symptoms. All these symptoms are due to release of mediators of allergy like histamine which is responsible for your symptoms.
I would suggest your grandson to test for absolute eosinophil count to confirm the presence of allergic reaction in the body.
For the present symptoms I would suggest you to take medicine like Tab Levocast, thrice daily for 5 days which will improve the conditions and makes you feel better. Thank you.
