Hello doctor, My son is 1 month old. His weight is 2.7 kg, and he has been suffering from allergy in his face especially on his cheeks and chin since last five to six days. Now it looks like a sunburn and an allergic reaction. But I could not understand the cause. He has trouble in breathing, and nausea and no medicines were used till now. Kindly suggest any anti-allergic syrup with dose.
Hello. The allergy that you may be talking about is probably milk dripping from the sides of the lips onto the cheeks and chin. This milk may be causing those allergic rashes on the cheeks and chin. Please observe, and if it is so, please wipe off the milk that is dripping. Another thing that you mentioned is that he has trouble breathing and nausea. Generally, children below the age of six months make certain sounds from the nose and mouth that makes us feel they are breathless. However, these children can take feeds well. If such is the case, then your child is normal with respect to your sense of breathlessness. Do not worry. Please note that even after taking the above steps if there is no improvement or worsening over the next few days, it is best to get the child evaluated physically by a pediatrician.
