Hello there. I can understand your concern. Usually such things take about 2-3 days to reduce. To control the itching you could ask her to take a tab. Ebast 20 once a day after food. Apply a calamime lotion over the affected area. Also, if it doesnt subside kindly consult a dermatologist in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards, Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
