My daughter stayed home from school yesterday with an upset stomach.

she felt like she was going to vomit, but didn't.

she slept most of the day and when she woke up she had what looked like a line of mosquito bites on her leg, and a cluster of them on her stomach. She started to scratch them and they puffed up and the whole area turned red. I gave her some benedryl and put some caladryl on the bumps. This seemed to help a lot but the bumps are still there. I also changed her sheets and vacuumed her mattress, sprayed it with lysol and she has always had a mattress cover on her bed, so i washed it too. This morning there seems to be more of them, on both her legs and her stomach. I tried looking it up online and keep coming up with spider bites, but wouldn't the spider be gone after i cleaned everything on her bed? If it's a rash wouldn't it be all over her body? She seems to be feeling much better now except for the red bumpy rash. It's raised, puffy, and in clusters just on her torso, and legs. I can't get a doctor appt. today and if i could, i don't have a way to get there since my car is in the shop. So i'm here asking for an opinion since i'm worried. I have to wait til tomorrow to see her pediatrician. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My 5 yr old daughter has beautiful, thick curly hair. As it starts to dry it looks like corkscrews but then it starts to frizz and she gets fly away strands that make it look messy. I'm looking for a product that would give her curls some definition. Another problem is that in the back, the inner layers don't curl as much as the outer layers do. She has long hair and the weight of it makes her hair appear straight on the top of her head. She is multiracial. I have super straight hair and her dad has what his mother calls " good hair", which to me is tiny little curls that are pea sized when he trims it and i find it in the sink. I have tried black hair care products but they are too thick and heavy for her hair. Her curls are also not very uniform either. Some sections are curlier than others. When i braid her hair while it's damp and let it dry and remove the braid her hair is straight. I usually leave it loose with a leave in conditioner but it looks too wild. Any suggestions?
