Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your son's history.
I would like to know more details about him like - what kind of infection did he have? Does he have any other complaints apart from rashes? Do rashes cause him itching/excessive crying? Does he have any digestion related complains - constipation/frequent diarrhea? Does he have any other allergies? Does he have any family member with allergies? Do you give any medicines frequently to him (for
fever, pain, etc) apart from anti-allergic medicines?
From your given history, I would like to make following suggestions for him:
1. Were I treating him, I would prescribe him
montelukast and
levocetirizine for 1 week and review his response. I would suggest you to apply lotion like
calamine over his itchy areas.
2. An infection related rash can some times last for 4-6 weeks after infection. If he has persistent symptoms beyond 6 weeks, I would suggest him to investigate for
food allergies, intestinal worms and other intestinal infections, urinary infections etc.
3. Some drugs like antibiotics and pain killers/anti-fever drugs can also cause rash. So if you are giving such drugs frequently to him, please consult your doctor to review his medications.
Hope above information will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish your son the best of the health.
Thank you & Regards.
