My 2 year old presented with itchy hives that began on her face, back and neck last night. It then disappeared and moved to her torso and ankle. She woke up this morning with a purplish rash above her lip that doesn t itch and no hives. Should I be worried? What might be causing this?
HI...by what you quote it seems to be an urticaria rash or hives. You can use HY Chat Doctor.  Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine, but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your pediatrician. Unless there is blood in the motion or severe pain in the abdomen or the rash is spreading extensively, you need not worry. Regards -
