Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Your child is suffering from allergic reaction. As you said you are giving Reactine and Advil since past 11 days and not getting relief as desired you make ask your doctor to ask short course of corticosteroids like Prednisolone which may relieve symptoms.

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