Suggest Treatment For Skin Allergy In A Child
hello doctor, My son (7 months old) had fever on last friday and lasted for 4 days .I gave him fevago syrup as prescribed by a doctor near by our area. now fever is not there but i could see some skin allergy (rashes) in the entire body even in the head.He has loose motion also(3 times a day). Could you suggest some diet for him and also some remedy for his skin allergy. Usually i give him cerelac, idly and any 1 vegetable like carrot and potato apart from breat feeding ( 3 times a day). Thanks in advance for your help

HI...fever followed by rash is not skin allergy and it could as well be a viral illness with rash or viral exanthem. Unless there is severe itching which manifests in kids as irritability ...there is no need to use any medications and it is usually self limiting...that is it will settle by itself spontaneously. The other option is that for the rash you can use Calamine lotion application to soothe the sensation.
