What Causes Skin Rashes All Over The Body Due To Vaccination?
Hi, doctor My daughter had her 5 year old vaccination on the 10 of January , after a couple of weeks I noticed a red rash on her legs and then her arms and the stomach, basically it spread all over her body except her face. I then took her to a pharmacist and he gave me a liquid form cortazan, medicine name is pre lone , it then started going away and as soon as she was running around and jumping up and down the jungle gyms did the rash come back really aggresively and now on her face it was very red, we then took her to a doctor and he told me she has a allergic reaction to something, but she has never had this before, I never changed her diet or the washing powder, it has been ever since the vaccination. The rash then started going away since giving her the medicine. But 3days now the rash has come back, it goes away and comes back and sometimes worse then the other times, but not as red, but itchy. Please help

Hi,
I had gone through your question and do understand that your daughter is suffering from Urticaria. The exact cause for this is not clear as it can result due to food allergy, medicine allergy, changes in local weather, etc.
Hence considering the vaccination to be the cause of this condition can be ruled out. To have a cure for this condition I would like to suggest the following Ayurvedic medications for 15 days which I usually give to patients who come to my clinic.
1. Tablet Laghusutashekara Rasa - 1 tablet twice daily before food with warm diluted milk.
2. Haridra Khanda - 1 teaspoon twice daily before food mixed with warm diluted milk.
3. If the rashes are worst and are not going away, then give her a bath with water boiled with neem leaves. I would like to suggest to evaluate Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) and Immunoglobulin (IgG) assay for the confirmation of diagnosis as the values of these will be high.
Also I would like to suggest the following diet for 2-3 months:
1. Avoid oily and fried preparations
2. Avoid use of too much spice in preparations
3. Avoid curds (Buttermilk can be taken) and also non-vegetarian food.
4. Fermented food, Bakery products, caffeine substances and Cocoa substances are to be avoided.
5. In vegetables she should avoid Brinjal and Drumstick while in fruits avoid using pineapple. Rest of the available fruits and vegetables can be used.
Start with dietary changes for the next two months and get back to me later for further assistance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
