To relieve my 2 year old daughter's itching. I already give her benadryl syrup but she complains a lot about her itchy feet.

Hello! There are several options available
Personally, I really like Aveeno cream, which is oat-based and quite effective for itching. It is a safe cream for all ages and can be applied all over the body and face as many times as needed during the day. I suggest you choose the one without perfume.
There is also the calamine lotion that can be applied on the affected area, you can even put it in the refrigerator to soothe a little more. The only downside is that this product can stain. Just make sure to shake well before use and do NOT take the calamine lotion containing the antihistamine
also, after bathing, do not rub dry the affected skin, just pat a little to remove excess water. Apply Aveeno max cream 5 minutes after getting out of the bath to keep the skin as hydrated as possible, which will help with the itching. Favour lukewarm water because too cold or hot dries the skin and
skin and increases discomfort.
do you have any other questions?
