I know your daughter must be miserable. If she is on steroids, that will help. I have to get a steroid shot about twice a summer. I am highly allergic and I can touch poison ivy on my foot and in two days it is all over my body. Benedryl will help soothe the itching, Aveeno baths (lots of Aveeno), Zanfel is a good, but expensive scrub to use while bathing. If Benedryl doesn't relieve the itching, I take a perscription called Atarax, but I don't know if that is okay for a 4 year old. Good luck and I hope she gets better soon. I know how she feels. I am just now healing from ugly scabs on my arms and legs from contacting poison ivy on May 29th.
