Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 16 month old daughter woke up today with blotches under her arms and a few on her legs. I thought for a second maybe it was her pajamas, but then I saw a couple on her wrist where her pajamas weren t. I know it s not hand foot and mouth because we just got over that with her. They don t seem to bother her much and she has no other symptoms of anything other than a cough that she s been fighting off for about a week or so (which seems to be from drainage, from her allergies). I m keeping an eye on it but I don t know when I should be conserned enough to see her dr.
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. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
