Patient's question:
The baby came back from kindergarten. At night, they started getting red rashes all over their body. The child itched so much that they kept crying and fussing. I used eucalyptus water to wipe their body and then applied a little erythromycin ointment to it. Tomorrow, I plan to take them to the hospital to see a doctor. Is it necessary to see a pediatric internal medicine doctor for the rashes?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is still considered to be caused by allergies. This condition is usually considered to be hives. It is necessary to visit the dermatology department of a hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral antihistamines can be taken. Do not let the child eat spicy or greasy foods. The diet should be light. There are many reasons that can cause allergies. If the allergies occur repeatedly, then an allergen test may be needed. Combining traditional Chinese medicine for treatment also yields good results.
