Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Nausea,cough And Hives On Hands And Wrists In Children?
my daughter is having waves of nausea, had a coughing fit for about 20 min....then palms were flamingl red and itching...face felt hot...hands and wrists have hives...chin red big hive mess...neck and chest bright red with hives, looks like chicken skin...no Benadryl, she is on her way home to take Benadryl...is shaking..has been taking oregano oil for the past 2 weeks when she has coughing fit. just 3-4 drops at a time.
Your kid seems to be suffering from allergy. Your kid may also have eosinophilia meaning increased number of eosinophils in blood. Treatment options are antihistamines like Benadryl are helpful. If the nose is congested, decongestants like oxymetazoline will work. Calamine lotion to be applied on the hives rash. Mast cell inhibitors like cromolyn sodium are to be used to prevent allergic symptoms.
Leukotriene inhibitors like Montelukast can also be used as a preventive measure from allergies. If the symptoms increase and involve difficulty in breathing and swollen lips and throat, injection hydrocortisone is to be taken. Epipen in severe cases. But identification of the allergen or triggering factor is most important and it can be done by patch testing. So please take your child to a pediatrician for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
