Allergist and Immunologist,  's  Response
Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

From your history, I would suggest her cetirizine and motelukast for 3-5 days depending upon the response.

As she has asthma and eczema, I think she is having atopy (a tendency to have allergies). And these allergies occur usually due to air-borne allergens and food allergens. Of course, she has reacted to amoxycillin in past, but drug allergy is not the only cause of asthma and eczema.

So I would suggest you to consult an Allergist who will test her for food and aeroallergen allergies and suggest you how to manage her allergies.

Hope this will make things clear for you and will help you.

Wish your daughter the best of the health.

Regards.
