Suggest Treatment For Hives All Over The Chest And Abdomen

My 20-month-old grandson broke out in hives today. They originally were only on one side of the torso, but have spread to all over the abdomen and chest Within the last 2 hours, his knees have become red and swollen. Non of these symptoms seem to be painful. He is happy and playful, with no apparent fever. So far, there have been no breathing issues. The family s yard was sprayed to kill mosquitos today, but previous sprayings have not produced any symptoms. Your thoughts?

Hi,

Urticaria or hives can occur anytime due to a product or composition of it. If hives has not settled better to start on steroids and antihistamine which would help.
