Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dizzy spells,stiff neck and headache. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like chickenpox , urticaria , psoriasis , but in your case the symptoms are due to sun burn . I would suggest you to cover the skin and protect it from direct sun light , apply petroleum jelly and apply cold compresses to reduce redness and inflammation . Also keep your baby hydrated . If condition doesn't get well then consult pediatrician for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , anti histamine or corticosteroid ointment after proper examination .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
