Hi...by what you quote I feel it is a simple hives or urticaria. This allergic skin reaction flares up and down intermittently up to 7-14 days. If you have any over the counter antihistamine medicine at home approved at this age, you can administer it safely in the dose prescribed on the pack. Otherwise I suggest you consult your physician.
