My 2 year old has red spots all over his legs and around his mouth and they itch
Jan 8, 2015

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
This could be very well an allergic reaction. Does he have any of the following:
- facial/lip swelling
- sudden onset cough and wheezing
- inability to swallow (excessive drooling)
- vomiting and/or diarrhea
If yes then he needs to be seen in the emergency room because these symptoms indicate a severe allergic reaction and requires injection medication.
If not then it's a limited allergic reaction and you need to have him examined by his pediatrician and start him on him an oral antihistamine (like desloratadine) for a few days. I cannot provide the medication dosage as a direct evaluation by a physician is still necessary.
