My one-year-old child has a cold and mild cough and was given ampicillin, Levolin, Omnacortil, and Zincet, but now has developed hives. What should I do?
Hives after taking medicines may indicate an allergic reaction. Stop the suspected medicine and keep the child comfortable while observing for any swelling or breathing difficulty. Ensure the child drinks enough fluids and avoid giving new medicines without advice. Consult a doctor soon so the reaction can be checked and treated safely.
