What Causes Quivering Lips And Chin With Hives?

My friend's 9 month old baby girl just came back from the doctor for hives - while there, the mother mentioned her quivering lip and chin. The baby's always extremely excited to see everyone so we always thought it was just excitement. The doctor then says the only time he's ever seen this happen (quivering lip and chin) is when a disease is present which may prevent the child from ever walking....I'm reading just the opposite everywhere online. The 9 month old crawls and tries to walk just like a normal 9 month old.
Thank you

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Lip and chin quiver in infants is commonly seen as they have an immature nervous system and it is resolved as the child grows and reaches further milestones..

As far as hives is concerned it can be due to allergic reaction and in case if quivering has not happened previously and is happening just now it can be due to the similar cause as of hives..

But in case if the quivering does not resolve or it becomes more severe you should consult a Paediatrician and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and investigations like MRI Scan and blood tests to check for any nerve related problem or nutritional deficiencies and syndromes can be eliminated and appropriate cause can be ruled out..

Consult a Paediatrician and get evaluated..

Hope this helps..
