Does anyone have experience with their little ones having hives? How many outbreaks did they have, a…

Hormonal and antihistamine, but until you find the allergen, it's just about managing symptoms. We were in the hospital for 5 days, and it took another 2 weeks at home.

yuliya yakubova Went to the allergist. She said I don't need to test for allergens, prescribed treatment: antihistamines and Enterosgel.

yuliya yakubova If the allergen is accessible, it will just keep coming back. We changed all our household chemicals, and then after six months, a floor cleaner surfaced. My husband decided to wash the toilet with it. And my son was still walking around like a giraffe for another week

yuliya yakubova So, I need to test for all allergens?

yuliya yakubova So, we did the tests and found birch and dog [allergy]. This helped us later with adenoids. But for hives specifically, no, it's easier to stick to a diet and introduce foods slowly. And try to track what else new might have been introduced. If it doesn't help after 2 weeks, then consider getting tests done.

yuliya yakubova I'm still thinking it might be the formula. Today, I tested the youngest for allergens, but I suspect our dog. If he shows positive, I'll test the middle one right away too. Thanks so much!

yuliya yakubova You're welcome, get well soon 🌹 It's possible that the effect is cumulative and due to a combination of allergens. So, basically, my son had been crawling on the floor for six months and everything was fine. But then spring came, pollen + dog dander + some floor cleaner component resulted in terrible reactions. He was covered in huge rashes, we were afraid he might develop angioedema

yuliya yakubova I'm so scared 😨, should I see another doctor 🤔

yuliya yakubova Or should I not wait? Which allergen panels should I get tested for?

yuliya yakubova Are you seeing a lot of spots? I'll try to look up what my son had. I don't think yours is too severe, or the doctor would have insisted on hospitalization right away. Just eliminate the most likely causes for now and keep an eye on it. If it doesn't get worse, then everything's under control!)

yuliya yakubova But then there were large clumps under my hair, right around the time I was worried about swelling. Before that, it was mostly on my arms, legs, and body, but then it was almost entirely on my face and head.
