Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

This rash seems like an allergic rash mostly due to some allergic factor in his bed.

Examine carefully his bedding for allergen and if you find any remove it.

You can apply calamine lotion 8 th hourly externally over rash.

If there is itching an oral antihistamine can be given in prescribed dose.

Consult his pediatrician for clinical examination and for medication.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

It appears that your grandson is allergic to something and the welts/urticaria is the result. You can give him an anti-allergic medication like certizine and try to find the cause of the allergic reaction.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your grandson an early recovery.

Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

One of the common causes for such a rash could be skin allergy. A physical examination will confirm the same.
Normally such allergies are associated with family history of allergies and may be associated with othe allergies like allergy of nose (allergic rhinitis), asthma etc. Is your child having such history?

In such scenario your doctor will prescribe antihistaminics after confirming the diagnosis. Calamine lotion application may be useful.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
