I went to the science center with my son yesterday when we came home he went for a nap and when he woke up he had welt like rash on both cheeks and some of his body the ones on his cheeks were super read one side almost swollen. I gave him benadryl 3 times once every 6 hours which seemed to calm it down but his cheeks are still rosy now. What should I do??
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. By what you quote it should be an urticaria or a simple skin allergy.  Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. I suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral antiallergic like HY Chat Doctor.  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.
