Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can try antihistaminic tablets with dosages based on her body weight. Maybe any allergen you are using is causing you all these symptoms.

Kindly evaluate what could be causing her this problem. if you can't rule out the condition then antihistaminics would subside that itching for some time.

Get a prescription for the same by any pediatrician. If this also doesn't help then we can think of steroids usage but that depends on clinical condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
