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.
We think our son may have been pricked by some kind of thorn on his head. We were camping and walked where there are a lot of thorns. It is swollen, red, and he says it is painful when touched. He has a 101 temperature right now. Not sure if the temperature is related to the allergic reaction or if he has a slight cold.
i think it may be due to allergic condition. in this condition cough may be present. just take an antihistamine once daily for few days and if temperature exceeds 100*F then take paracetamol according to age.
