Hi, yor child might have got an allergic reaction. This could be due to anything like a new food antigen recently introduced in the diet or an insect bite or even a drug. Give your child Syrup Atarax 2.5 ml twice daily for 2 days. If your child does not improve in a few days, you might have to consult a pediatrician to rule out any renal disoreder like early onset Nephrotic syndrome or Post infectious Glomerulonephritis as your child has got a throat infection also. At present, give her anti histaminic(Atarax) and continue with Azithral for 5 days.
Thanks and regards.
