What Causes Hives All Over The Body Of A Baby?
Hi, I have a 15 month old son who over the past 2 days has developed hives all over his body. Preceding this, he has had a fever for the past 4 days and has recently gotten a few teeth. He has also had a semi-productive cough for about 2 months. I assumed the cough was due to teething as was the fever. We were wondering if he could have developed a milk allergy suddenly. He is a normally very happy child and has been crying/clingy for the past week. Should we take him to urgent care or wait to see his regular doc on Monday?

HI
Well come to HCM
This could be viral infection and this is common in this age group gives the similar clinical symptoms as allergic condition and actually this is allergic condition because of the immune response against the viral infection, this is self limiting high grade fever, hydration, breathing difficulty would be main concern, hope this information helps, take care.
