Brief Answer:
Hives

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that your child has hives. Hives are an allergic reaction to something in is diet or environment. The most common is a food allergy and it could be to milk. If your child has a milk allergy they may need to switch to a another form of milk like plant based soy milk. That would be my first recommendation. See how your child reacts to the soy based milk formula. If that does not work then see if he/she has allergy to cats, dogs or detergents or soaps. Depending on the age of your child you can use antihistamines

In summary
1. Hives due to food or environmental allergy
2. Most likely milk allergy. Stop milk
3. Switch to soy milk formula
4. Try liquid antihistamine depending on age
5. May have cat dog or detergent allergies

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
