Question

Does a red rash on a child’s hip after intravenous treatment indicate an allergic reaction?

Answer

The itching and red rash that a child may experience after intravenous treatment could be related to food or drug reactions. It is recommended to temporarily avoid spicy or seafood and consider taking vitamin C and calcium gluconate orally. Continuous observation and maintaining the area clean and dry are advised. If symptoms worsen or the rash spreads, seek medical diagnosis and treatment promptly.
