What Causes Itching All Over Body While On Mucinex?
We took my 8year old daughter to Yale ED last night for fever, SOB, expiratory wheezing, O2sat 89% RA and congested cough. She has no history of asthma. CXR was negative. Diagnosis: Acute Viral Upper Respiratory Infection with cough and bronchospasm. She was given 3doses of Duoneb treatment and oral Prednisone. She is now on Albuterol inhaler 2puffs q 4hrs PRN. She got 4 doses so far. Although she still has the congested, she is not struggling to breath like yesterday. She continues to have the congested cough and I have been giving her Mucinex. No fever today. But right now she s complaining of being itchy all over her body. I don t see any rashes because all I see is her scratch marks. Should I stop giving it to her and bring her to her pediatrician in the AM?
It is possible to be allergic to any medication so she may have experienced a reaction to the mucinex. It is possible to react to an agent that was used before, your body can slowly develop an allergic response.
It would be best to stop the medication and give her an anti histamine to treat her reaction. Her doctor should be informed.
I hope this helps
