Suggest Medication For Rashes With Itching On Body
My 6yr old woke up this morning with a rash over her entire body except her face, and was really itching. She has a temperature and the rash seems to be alot heavier on her arms and legs. She was fine yesterday and didn't eat anything out of the ordinary, what could have caused this?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your kids problem is most likely urticaria an allergic condition.But if she is having fever continuosly then you have to check platelet count and routine blood to rule out haemorhagic fevers like dengue.For urticaria i treat my patients with tab cetirizine and calamine lotion for application on skin.If severe urticaria then i advise corticosteroids.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
