What Causes A Skin Rash After Chest Infection In A Child?
Hi my five year old has been very Ill all week with really high temp I took her to our Doc and she said it was a chest infection & prescribed antibiotic, the temp continued for a full week! Yesterday she broke out in spots like hives (almost like a bee sting) the rash appeared all up both arms and hands on her ankles and lower leg also her ears and face! I brought her straight back to our Doc who said it was some sort of allergy! She gave her a course of steroids but today the rash is still visible although it just looks like dull red spots under the skin is this normal after a reaction like that? Thank you Grace
Thanks for consulting at Healthcare Magic. Allergic hives may take about a week to resolve completely even after treatment. As your doctor has already prescribed steroids, you ask him to add antihistaminics like Citrizine for early relief.
