Thanks for contacting with your concern
1. Viral infection [cold/flu] is/are the most important cause of hives all over the body but other causes to exclude is/are any drug/food reaction so take an opinion of a Child specialist to exclude the possibilities since hives can take a week or month to clear after the illness begins .
2. As antihistamine [benadryl] has no effect remember that hives are usually harmless so please exclude viral infection like roseola/ measles [which are common in this age group] and manage accordingly.
