We are out of town and we have a 1-year-old child who has developed a red rash on his stomach and chest with hive-like bumps. He has red flushed cheeks with a cough and has vomited three times today. Just wondering if this sounds like anything that requires an emergency room visit or if there is something we could be doing to ease the symptoms with over-the-counter remedies. Thank you for your thoughts and guidance.
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. By what you quote it should be an urticaria or a simple skin allergy. 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. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
