Question
My baby has been taking children’s cough syrup, ceftriaxone, and Mamila, but since last night, there have been bumps on his face that look like grains of rice. Today, the bumps have become larger, and a few have also appeared on his hands. I’m not sure if this is caused by the humidifier or the medication. How should I treat it?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to assist you. Based on your description, your baby’s symptoms may be due to an allergy. It is recommended that you take your baby to get tested for allergens so that you can avoid exposure to allergens in the future. Additionally, you can give your baby cetirizine orally and apply an antiseptic ointment to the affected areas. Also, ensure good hygiene of the affected area to help ease the symptoms. Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
