Does anyone have any input?  My 9 yo twin sons were both exposed to poison ivy.  One twin has a typical, nasty case of poison ivy on his legs, arms, stomach and chin.  The other boy's right leg is VERY swollen and red.  I took him to the dr yesterday and she prescribed Atarax.  It makes him sleepy, but hasn't relieved the swelling or pain at all.  None of the blisters appear to be infected and I've been putting Neosporin on them ... I don't think he needs to go to the ER, but I'm very concerned.
