What Can Cause The Tips Of The Finger To Peel And The Lip To Swell?
My 4 year old has broke out in hives, the tips of each finger is peeling and now he is complaining about his foot (at the joint) is hurting? He also had his top lip swell up 3 nights ago and his bottle lip swelled up last night. We gave him Benadryl and it worked on his swollen lips not on the hives. What could this be?

Hello,
The symptoms of your son seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I recommend to give him Benadryl to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application at the hives area.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
