My daughter woke up yesterday with a rash all over her body and swelling in the area of her nose and eyes. Hospital told us its viral and that is her body s reaction to it. Today she has increased swelling in those areas, rash is still present. Has a runny nose - yellowish discharge. Itchy/no pain and no fever. I am leaning towards an allergic reaction but Benadryl has had little to no affect. Can it possibly be a virus or more of an allergic reaction or both?
Thanks for sharing your concern. It is more likely a viral rash though the possibility of an allergic reaction is still there. Unfortunately there is no certain way to know. The good news is that both types of rashes are very common in kids & generally last a few days. Bena Chat Doctor.  Is the dose right ? Can easily wait 3-4 days for rashes to improve if she remains otherwise ok. Hope you find the information useful.
