How Can A Runny Nose With Buttock And Leg Welts Be Treated?

My daughter (22 months) has not been feeling well the last couple of days. Started with a runny nose on Friday, then a fever on Sunday (gone today) and today she has hives(?) She has what looked like a misquitoe bite on her bum this morning, and then after her nap her checks were really red with small to medium side raised whitish welts. Kind of looks like normal to big bug bites. They went away in about two hours. Then when I took her diaper off this evening they same thing on both of her bum checks. Had not gone away before bed. I noticed a few small spots on her legs just as going to bed. She has also not had an appetite. Can t thing of any thing different in her diet. She did have her MMR vaccine the end of July.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
By what you quote it should be an urticarial or a simple skin allergy. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose every 6th to 8th hourly for 7-10 days. Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your paediatrician.
