HI,Dear,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts and data of your query,You seem to need treatment for a complex problem of -Hives due to Food allergy with accompanied triggering viral infection,which needs to be confirmed in planning treatments.
The painful heel with swelling on the heel-could be due to the hive lump in the heal increasing stretchful pain of the cracked heel of your 6 yr daughter.
Treatment -
Would be-
Steroids/Allegra Tabs/Voltaren gel-locally to cracked heel with /Antacid PIP
and Deworming with Dewormin- to reduce worms causing eosinophilia.
Hence both these facts need to be considered while planning treatment of these lumps,when need be.
In the above scenario, you need to be very cautious and take the needful treatments for the varied unknown health issues you may have,which requires thorough evealuation of your case.
Hope this reply would help you to resolve your sever anxiety.
