When the Kid Is Ill: Urticaria (Pink Rash)


The kid`s health... Can there be anything more important than that? - Nothing. So, every mom tends to be overconcerned about each small sign that might seem not normal. Some four or five years ago when my elder daughter was sick there appeared lots of pink spots all over her body. The first idea that came to my mind was that it was chickenpox since the spots were quite a lot. I phoned our pediatrician who recommended watching the spots and the girl`s condition carefully within an hour. Very soon I realised I`d been wrong about Chickenpox, for the spots were too vast. I considered everything that had been happening earlier that day and found that an hour earlier I had given my daughter a new syrup against fever. Immediately I applied an antihistamine gel onto the large pink spots. By the time our pediatrician arrived the spots had nearly disappeared. I was explained that it was Urticaria.
