Suggest Remedy For Severe Rash All Over The Body
My ten year old daughter was diagnosed with mon one week ago. She had symptoms for almost two weeks - but they finally figured it out. She got this nasty rash all over her body and now her skin is peeling (severly) on her hands, feet, between her toes, knees, elbows and face. It is quite severe, with HUGE pieces of skin just peeling away. Is this normal with mono?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of severe rash all over the body which seems to be due to allergic reaction of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to to apply cold compresses. You should take antihistamine like benadryl and keep yourself hydrated by drinking lot of fluid. you should avoid touching or pricking rashes on body. If condition doesn't get improve or get worse then consult allergy specialist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may treat with epinephrine (adrenaline), either self-injected or administered by a doctor. Usually, this injection will stop the development of a more severe allergic reaction.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
