My 10 month old son had a procedure done this morning,an esophageal dilitation, and he was put under anesthesia. All the sudden tonight he has developed a rash on his face weird blotchy shapes on the face of red spots including around the eyes. Should we be concerned.
Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your complaint it seems like you son has got a delayed allergic reaction to the anesthetic medicine or can also be due to any other medication that was given to him before, during or after the procedure, and it has led to an allergic reaction and red blotches and spots are due to it. As he is in a very tender age you should immediately consult your treating Pediatrician and get evaluated and in case if allergic is ruled out the physician can advise you to take anti-allergic medicines like Ben Chat Doctor. Do cool compresses over the bumps and rashes. You can also apply calamine lotion for relief from inflammation. Feed him with ample of fluids and milk. Do not delay and immediately consult a physician or emergency room as allergy can cause further complications like breathing difficulties. Hope this helps. Regards.
