General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

She requires basic supportive measures as:
• Maintain general hygiene
• Wear clean, cotton, loose clothes
• Tub bath with added Epsom salt in cold water and lavender oil morning and evening works amazingly
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, excess heat
• Plenty of liquids orally
• Balanced nutritious diet
• Antihistaminics as Benadryl help
• Use of systemic antibiotics will need her evaluation physically
• Calamine lotion application 3 times a day
• Watch for her fever, any altered signs of infection

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
