Hi K.,
My son broke out in hives when he was 10 months old. It started with what I thought were bug bites on the back of his legs and when he woke up the next morning they were on his face and were the size of silver dollars. I took him to his pedi who recomended a blood test to see if it was food related. It did not show what caused those hives but we did find out he was allergic to peanuts. My pedi is positive it was food related and claritin worked wonders. Benadryl did not really help as I had given it to him before he went to bed and woke up worse in the a.m. But claritin cleared him up within 2 hrs. And this was after both his ears swelled up and he looked like Dumbo!!!
