2nd day of my child's rashes due to eating canned fish, its getting worse. he wouldn't take zyrtec (cetirizine) (he hates meds).what else is there to do? pls. help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try Benadryl (diphenhydramine): he will need medication--he may also need a short course of steroids to stop the reaction.Apply calamine lotion on the rash--it may help.
