What are the red bumps on a child's face at two months?

Patient's question:

Cheeks and forehead have red bumps. It might be itchy. The child's face turns red as soon as they touch it, but it's fine when they don't move. The child was 1.5 months old then, and now they are 2 months and 4 days. The cause is unknown.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
Help needed: Are the red bumps on the face eczema? What can be applied? How will they disappear? It's winter now, and the child is too young to be exposed to sunlight at home. Is it okay to just take fish oil?
What should I do if the child always makes a wheezing sound while breathing?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the above considerations, it is likely that the baby has a facial rash caused by milk allergy, which is a common symptom in infants and young children. You can mix one vial of AD drops with one vial each of dexamethasone injection and gentamicin injection, and then apply the mixture externally. This method is usually quite effective, so you can give it a try.
Mothers of two-month-old babies should consume more calcium-rich foods. If the baby does not get enough sunlight, you can supplement with fish oil or AD drops to enhance calcium absorption. Once the baby is four months old, start introducing complementary foods promptly.
The baby's breathing sounds are relatively heavy, but they will generally improve as the baby grows older.
