Suggest treatment for itchy rashes all over the body of a child
Patient: our otherwise healthy 11 year old daughter has had a severe rash from head to toe covered with welts and complaints of profuse itching. This has been going on almost continuously for over two months and we are just now finally coming to the end of our wait for appt with an allergist-appt still 5 days away. Before this, she had NKDA NKA. She has been treated around 6 times now at intervals when her medication regimens would come to an end and/or at height of symptoms during this nightmarish 2-3 month time period. None of the anti-histamines, steroids, etc seem to work completely with significant relief of her symptoms (welts may fade somewhat but do not go away and itching reduced only minimally) and any small amount of relief of symptoms does not last long. This is really taking a toll on the entire family (and oh, yes, we have changed detergents, soaps, etc, etc, etc made lists trying to track possible causes) . . . please HELP!!!! Doctor: Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of severe pain under the left rib cage, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:1.Hypoallergenic diet,elimination of allergens.Diagnosis can be confirmed by allergenic food tests.2.Absorption of allergens by giving Charcoal 1 tablet trice a day for 10 days.3. Stool culture for flora to exclude dysbiosis. For normal flora you need to give Darolac 1 capsule twice a day for 1 month, enzyme's syrup during meal for 2 months, albendazole-for elimination of helminths. In addition try Allegra-the strongest antihistamines 1  tablet for night for 14 days.Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your child good health.
