What Causes The Outbreak Of Hives In A Bronchitis Suffering Child?

My son has been diagnosed with bronchitis, he also has broken out into hives. He is alergic to penicilan, and has been prescribed zithromax as well as presnidone for the hives. These meds seemed to in some way make the hives worse. Could it be a reaction to the medicine or are the hives just running they re course?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...without seeing the lesions we cannot say definitely if this is a drug allergy or an original allergy going on.

But I will try to explain you how a Hives behaves so that you will be more confident. Once it comes it will be there for 5-7 days. Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days.
