Patient's question:
The baby is still two months away from turning two years old. In the recent few days, she has developed red rashes all over her body (both on her body and face). At first, the rashes appeared after drinking milk in the morning and evening. Later, we stopped giving her formula milk, and also stopped feeding her eggs, fish, shrimp, etc. The rashes stopped at night, but they still appeared in the morning. After 2-3 hours, the rashes would disappear on their own. This has been happening repeatedly every day for the past 7 days. What should we do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have a thorough blood test for the child. If the eosinophils are significantly elevated, it can be diagnosed as an allergic reaction, and further investigation into the allergen should be conducted. Temporarily follow a light diet, take loratadine granules orally, and apply paclitaxel ointment externally. Then, wait and see if there is a desensitization effect. Try to minimize contact with allergens in daily life to prevent the recurrence of allergic symptoms. Maintain skin cleanliness, pay attention to rest, and enhance the child's physical fitness.
