What Could Cause Hives In A 6 Years Old Child?

my 6 year old daughter developed hives during treatment of pink eye (sulfate drug) on saturday. The hives were as large as tennis balls, on the hands, feet, legs, arms and some on her face. The hospital put her on benedryl but the physician says its coxsackie virus. Does this virus produce hives? No hives on chest, back. Physician says she has spread it where she can touch. Do you agree?

Hi dear,I strongly disagree.It obviously seems,that she developed allergy to sulfonamide medicine,please never use it again.
Follow hypoallergenic diet .Coxsackie virus will not cause hives.It is not contagious. Don't worry, she will spread to anyone.Change doctor.
