Red face?

My 7 year old son had a red face since 7:30 this morning its only red and itchy from neck up. We gave Benadryl but no change. His breathing and appetite have been fine and his playing activities not affected. Just itchy and red.

Hello

It could be an allergic reaction, maybe to food. If Benadryl doesn't improve it, your doctor can prescribe a corticosteroid such as Orapred.
