Dear Ms

General body rash in child is usually caused due to allergic reaction. Allergix Elixer is an antihistamine drug and useful in management of allergic rash.

Also if there associated itching then local application of calamine lotion will also be helpful.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take care
