5 months Daughter having Uticaria
Since last night my daughter 5 months old suddenly started to have red patches on her thighs, stomach and by morning it spreaded to some places. So we had gone to doctor, after seeing the patches he told that it is uticaria because of allergy. And gave Atarax drops 0.5ml BD and Caladoux lotion to apply.
Is Uticaria a serious condition and generally how many days does it take to get back to normal condition. What other precautions to take for fast recovery.

As diagnosis of urticaria is made, remember that most of the time it is not serious.
But search for the cause. ( insect bites, dust, pollen, viral infections, food, medicines and many other causes ) in order to avoid recurrence.
The rash is usually transient, but may recur upto a week or two.
Next Steps
As child is 5months, atarax and other anti allergy medications are best avoided .
Health Tips
In any allergy, keep in mind the red flag symptoms ( rapidly spreading rash, swelling of eyelids, lips or especially tongue, coughing which are all serious and need urgent attention at the emergency room )
