Patient's question:
My child has a fever. Yesterday morning, I rubbed some baijiu on her chest and back. This morning, I noticed many red spots on her body and head. It seems like an allergic reaction. Can children with alcohol allergies recover on their own?Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is an allergy, which is related to the use of baijiu to rub the body. However, since baijiu contains other ingredients, it is difficult to determine the true allergen. If the child feels that the itching is not severe, medication may not be necessary at first. As the allergen is metabolized, it will gradually be eliminated, and the rash will also gradually disappear. If the itching is unbearable, antiallergic medication such as Cetirizine syrup can be used, as it is relatively safe. Since the affected area is large, topical medication is not recommended. Additionally, when taking medicine and sterilizing with alcohol, it should be used with caution in the future.
