Suggest Treatment For Giant Urticaria In Kid
My 2 and a half old son has Giant Urticaria and has for over 6 weeks now. My GP said it was nothing to worry about and it was just a viral infection that would go away within 2 weeks. Its getting worse now and he has been off his food for 4 weeks. Im a little worried that it could be caused by something else.

Local application of calamine lotion gives relief .
