What Causes Rashes All Over The Body Of A Child?

Hi, my 4 year old daughter also developed a sudden rash all over her body on the eighth day of treatment with amoxicillin (for a throat infection). What are the pros and cons of treating her with antihistamines? She s ok for now, it doesn t itch terribly, just a bit. Thanks!

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern.As per your query your child have symptoms of itchy rashes which can occur due to our environment , heat , cold , pressure and sun exposure . It is the bodies response to the trigger factor . The most important thing is to find the trigger factor.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give cold compresses to hives several times a day to prevent from swelling and itching and take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl. If symptoms still persist the consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe other steroid cream ( mometasone) , anti inflammatory drug or drugs that can suppress immune system.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
