Suggest Remedy For Fever And Possible Allergies
Hi, My 10-month old daughter either has flea bites or allergies on the front of her neck, right ear, upper arms and around the front diaper area. They ve also turned red and has gotten swollen. She s also running a 100 fever which she s had on and off for the past 2 days, which we think is from teething, or possibly from the flea bites? Please advise what kind of care will be best for her. Thank you!

Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. Start her on an antihistamine such as Chlorpheniramine or fexofenadine. Apply lactocalamine for skin lesions.
If the symptoms persist the consult your pediatrician for use of steroids and adrenaline as per clinical evaluation. They àre used for severe forms of allergies. Clinical evaluation will rule out any viral or bacterial cause for the condition.
I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
