Baths: Try giving your child luke warm baths with several tablespoons of corn starch or baking soda added to the water four times a day. You can also try oatmeal baths.

Ive been on Keflex 6 days. Last night I had a hive about the size of a dime on left breast. I took 2 Benadryl and its almost gone this morning. Could Keflex cause 1 hive? Should I finish the last dose? Or skip it? Am I now allergic to Keflex?
