What should I do if my 7-year-old son has a red rash all over his body with no fever, cold, or cough, tested negative for dengue, and is still not feeling well after being prescribed Atarax?

Atarax (hydroxyzine) helps relieve itching, but it can cause drowsiness, which might be why he is feeling off. Since the widespread rash persists and he is still unwell, I highly recommend having his pediatrician re-evaluate him. They can check for other viral or allergic causes now that dengue is ruled out. In the meantime, keep him hydrated, dress him in cool, loose clothing, and seek immediate medical care if he develops any difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, or extreme lethargy.

I have been facing facial allergy and severe skin dryness for the last year, and cracks keep appearing on my forehead and under my eyes. Doctors said it may be a weather allergy and prescribed medicines like Hyroxyl 10, Atarax, levocetirizine, Allegra, and steroid creams, but the relief is only temporary. Is there any long-term way to control this problem and prevent it from coming back repeatedly?
If your face has been reacting like this for a long time with dryness, cracking, and weather allergy-type flares, it usually means the skin barrier has become quite sensitive. In conditions like chronic eczema or allergic contact dermatitis, the skin easily loses moisture and reacts again and again to small triggers like dust, temperature change, soaps, or even some creams. That's why antihistamines and steroid creams may calm things down for a while, but the problem comes back once the effect wears off or when the skin gets exposed again. For better long-term control, the main focus should be on daily skin repair rather than only treating flare-ups. Using a very gentle face wash and applying a thick, simple moisturiser regularly can help the skin stay protected and reduce cracking over time. Try to avoid hot water on the face, harsh soaps, scrubbing, or frequently changing products, as all of these can keep the skin irritated. Sun exposure can also make dryness and sensitivity worse, especially around thin areas like under the eyes. Since this has been going on for a year despite treatment, it's worth getting a detailed dermatology review again. Sometimes the exact trigger is missed, and identifying it can make long-term control much easier.
