Last saturday my 6 yr old son came up with a hive like rash all over his back and stomach. I called my doctor and he told me it is more likely to be an allergy and i gave him Zyrtec antihistamine. On Sunday he got no rash but in the evening i realised that his wrist and ankle were swollen and when he actually came to walk he was limping and felt discomfort. this morning his rasChatDoctore out again so i went to the doctor he wasn t limping anymore and his wrist and ankle were hardly swollen. Doctor gave him Solupred for the ulticaria like rash. this evening around 6pm my son complained he couldn t walk and said his knees hurt when he tried to walk... he only had a very slight rash this time. What could it possibly be?
Hi.... by what you say I feel that this could be an associated angioedema along with allergy or urticaria. The other rare but still clinical possibility is HSP or Enoch schooling purpura. I suggest you get back to your pediatrician if the rash starts again especially in the lower limbs. Regards -
