Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
There is a good possibility its a reaction to the drug. First thing to be done is to immediately stop all medicines. Give plenty of liquids for child to take orally. As far as itching is concerned, you can apply lactocalamine lotion over the red itchy areas that would comfort. Before starting any medicines to reduce itching, I would advice you to consult a doctor so that those lesions can be seen. Hope your child recovers soon. Take care.
