My little brother and I are alone at home for a few days. And my little brothers has a rash from a shampoo he obviously is alleric to. In the country we live in it's late evening and he can't sleep because of his rash. He is crying and says it's itchy and painful. How can I help him? It's half past eleven at night, I can't go buy something anymore.

(I hope I chose the category right, I don't really know this site yet)

Start by giving him a warm water shower using no soap or gel. This might rinse it away and start to relieve the rash. What part of the body is the rash?

I know its late, but perhaps speak to your neighbour now, just to put your mind at rest and your brothers.

It was asked if you live on an forces base ie. RAF etc. If so, they should have a medical section that you may be able to contact for advice.

What is a forces base?
If he has used a shampoo with some exotic ingredient it could well be something of no matter but watch him and if he exhibits any of the symptoms shown on the link don't hesitate to phone or contact help immediately. Better to be safe than sorry.

A forces base is a military base like the Royal Air Force, or the Army.
They probably think your parents live on an Airforce Base because you are in Germany. Your English is good.
Would an anti histamine help? Be careful of the doseage!
I suggest you try the shower now and settle him before it gets too late.

See if anyone`s got some Piriton. That would be the best thing. Failing that, hydrocortisone for the easy to reach bits. Failing that, keep the areas cool.

Thanks :) , askyourgran. We live in a village and there is no airforce base!

What do you mean with "op"?
Anne means , how old are you lol.
Remember to keep the shampoo that was used so that you can work out what he was allergic to.

If he gets any worse and you have to take him to a doctor, take the shampoo with you, for the same reasons above.
op means the person who originally asked the question

Are you a gamer, lolrofl?
How's your brother - any worse or better?
well done at choosing best answer on your first post.. did your parents leave a contact number for you to use if you require advice ? between posting here I wonder how your brother is, and what you have actually done to help him.
