Hi.
As per your case history your child may be having urticaria.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid foods with artificial color and avoid dairy products.
2. Don't give any medication without doctors advice as certain medicines can cause urticaria.
3. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion twice daily.
4. Start levocetrizine syrup 2.5ml once at night.

If condition persists beyond 2 weeks then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
