Hello!

How to treat hives? My 22 month old daughter has hives all over her back, chest, belly and feet. It’s seems to be getting worse. Just wondering at what stage do I take her to the doctor? I don’t want to over react but I don’t want her to get really bad with it.

  • It seems like an allergic reaction to something probably best to go see your local GP.


  • i would get it checked it could be a reaction


  • Did you find something that worked?


  • oh, poor dear. I would take her to the doctor


  • what did you end up doing?


  • What did you end up doing?


  • did you see a doctor about it?


  • What did you end up doing?


  • I would suggest seeing your doctor if getting worse,


  • See the doctor, better be safe than sorry


  • You had better check with the dr if it is getting increasingly worse, you don’t want the airways to be affected


  • Hives are an allergic reaction to something so it’ best to go to the GP & organise an allergy test (doesn’t hurt). Monitor what she eats & try to figure out what could be causing it. Grasses are another common allergen.


  • I would take her to the dr and get some cream, my sister used to break out in hives from an allergy to Tomatoes


  • Wanted to know aswell, thanks for posting.


  • take her to your doctor now as it could be allergies and unfortunately it could get worse maybe they will refer you to have some allergy testing done like my child who suffers with allergies it is very simple to do and really helps to avoid those triggers


  • It is better to take her to the doctor


  • I’d take her straight away, hives can be a sign of allergy and it could be something she is ingesting that might build up over time. You need to work out what is causing the hives.


  • talk with your doctor or chemist, but we give our kids a antihistamine when theirs are bad, but both of them have been caused by allergies (one to citrus fruit and one to penicillin). Try to keep a note of what they have eaten for the day and it might help your doctor with an answer if it is something that happens regularly.

    We have a cooling spray (which is good in summer) to help the itch from the outside. Good luck.


  • Take her to the doctor, just to sure. Always better to check.


  • i would go to the doctor to check that it actually is hives and get their recommendation on treatment.
