Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Your child seems having an allergic skin rash.

Try to find out the cause for his allergy carefully to avoid it.

You can give benadryl for skin rash in prescribed dose.

And apply a calamine containing lotion externally over the skin rash for soothing effect.

Is there any joint swelling?

Give Tylenol or Advil in prescribed dose for joint pain relief.

Consult the pediatrician for the physical examination of the child and for treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
