Welcome to Healthcare Magic
There could be many reasons for scratching. Does he have jaundice, thyroid problems, any skin rash. Sometimes after eating something he is allergic to can make him scratch as well. Children with atopic dermatitis are known to have dry skin which gets itchy when they ingest allergen food like eggs, milk, nuts. Let him avoid sun exposure. He needs to eat fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables in diet. Drink enough water. You can give the syrup which will definitely reduce the itching. Best will be if you can get him a thorough checkup by Dermatologist to rule out certain disorders which can cause this problem.

hi,
thanks for query
i cant understand what u have write
check out your mistake
cure for allergy:There are many natural remedies for allergies available. Although natural remedies are easily available without prescription, it is better to consult a doctor before to take up any medicine as a remedy for allergies.
When a person is taking natural remedies or any other medicines for allergies, it is better to concentrate on the environment in which they live. Avoid moist environments. Moist environments aid the growth of molds that are one of the causes of allergies. Cleanliness of the beds and the carpet plays an important role in treating allergies. Food restrictions also help in treating the allergies well. Certain types of foods should be avoided and certain foods can be taken. A proper nutritional supplement to aid the treatment is also recommended.
bye

Hi
I will try my best to answer your query.
There are number of causes which may be responsible for itching like insect bite, scabies, poison ivy etc . Symptomatic treatment will not be helpful, one should try to find out the cause and treat it.
I advice you to see child specialist or allergy specialist.
Hope my answer will be helpful for you.
Take care.
