What Causes Raised And Swollen Red Bumps On Ears,arms And Chin Of A Child?
My 4 yr old son woke up Wednesday morning with raised swollen red bumps on his arms, ears, and chin. i gave him benadryl before bed which helped but he woke up this morning with one on the side of his face by his eye. He isn t complaining of itching or pain. He was treated on sunday with a treatment because he was wheezing and was given amoxicillin. i have taken him to his doctor before who stated it was an allergic reaction to the bite but i suspect it may be something else please help. thank you

Your description confirms that it is definitely an allergic reaction wither due to the drug(amoxicillin) or due to an insect bite. Please give Syp. Cetrizine 3ml twice a day for 3 days along with a soothening calamine lotion.
