Feeling dehydrated, watering eye, rashes and swelling on face. Any ideas?
Answered by
becoming blistery , skin that is feeling very hot and getting painful. She is feeling very dehydrated.
Any ideas please.
Thanks for writing to us.
This skin rash could be due to viral infection or it could be due to some allergic reaction.
I would like to know
1) since how long is she having this rash
2) does it involve one side of face without crossing midline
3) any blisters inside oral cavity
4) use of any new cosmetic or medicine etc at the area of involvement
Answering these questions and uploading an image of the concerned area would help me out in confirming the possibilities.
Hoping to hear from you soon. Take care.
No blisters in mouth.
Swelling began slowly on Sunday morning and gradually got worse until Tuesday
morning when her eyes were swelling rapidly.
Rash is raised blisters and is all over face and on her neck.
No new medicine or cosmetics have been used recently.
Hope this helps.
She might be having contact dermatitis or angioedema
As she is having swelling of eyes, rash, swelling over her face and blisters( fluid filled lesions), she needs immediate medical intervention. Kindly consult a doctor nearby as she might require a course of oral steroids.
In the meanwhile start her on oral antihistaminics like cetirizine or Benadryl
Hope that answers your query. Take care.
Wish your daughter a speedy recovery.

MD I have just discovered that I probably have aspartame poisoning: itchy rash and hives on face and eyelids. I have been taking benadryl and it helps for a short time but would like to know if there is anything else I can do. I don t drink very much diet soda but had a large diet coke yesterday and within a couple of hours the rash and itch started. I began reading the ingredients in some of my food products and discovered it was in quite a bit of them.
MD I have a 3 year old with a low grade fever and lower body welts. He had a fever of 101 last night and we gave him some Tylenol. He still had a fever this AM of 99 but has been acting fine. We went to a children s museum this morning for a birthday party. He was fine the entire time we were there and he did not eat anything. We went to lunch about an hour after leaving the museum and when we sat down at the table, he started complaining that his foot was itchy. I observed some small welts on both feel similar to what you would see after a bug bite. Within about ten minutes, the small welts had turned into large welts and traveled up both legs and to his lower back on both sides. My husband left the restaurant to get some benadryl at the walgreens next door. We gave him some benadryl and it seemed to help in about a hour. I know from my other son that the welts can remain for some time, but now I m noticing some welts starting on his cheek. They are very small, but I m a little concerned. We just gave him some more benadryl and more Tylenol since his fever has returned. While at the museum, the only place we went that might have caused some reaction in him was the butterfly garden, but he didn t touch anything or walk in any grass. Im trying to figure out if he is just having a reaction to something he encountered there (environmental) or if it is somehow related to his known food allergies (He has a class 6 peanut/treenut allergy on the rast scale and a class 3 for egg). Again he didn t eat anything, but we are starting to get concerned that it could be something like a touch reaction. He hasn t been in a situation where he has encountered peanuts or treenuts before and honestly we are not sure how sensitive he is to touch. He older brother also have a severe peanut allergy so we had the younger one tested to see if he also had the allergy. Since we found out he does, we ve kept him away from exposure just like his older brother. I did notice a peanut shell on the floor at the restaurant we went to today but it was outside and we just walked by it. He didn t touch it at all. I m not sure what to think about it or if we should be concerned now that is has been hours and he still seems to have some welts periodically forming.
MD I had been bitten by a spider over a week ago. I m guessing it was a brown recluse spider since I was in West Virginia. The spider bite me multiple time in both ankles. I took benadryl and advil for a few days until the itching and swelling went down. Here it is 10 day later the bites have scabbed over, but now I am breaking out in little swollen red hives all over. Could this be cause by that same spider bite? I have been taking Benadryl all day and it doesn t seem to help.
