Yes sir, itching but no fever till now and no pain. No swelling or edema around the rash area. Rashes look like allergy but have caugh and also fell that her gland like enlarged in size. Not to give her other special food, just routine food.

Brief Answer:
Looks like urticaria or simple allergy

Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

By what you quote it should be an urticarial or a simple skin allergy. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose every 6th to 8th hourly for 7-10 days.

Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your paediatrician.
