What Causes Hives In Children?
Aloha! My daughter, who is 9, has had hives off and on since May. She had a blood test that said she was sensitive to dust. We are curious what your recommendations would be to figure out what is causing the hives. Is it possible it could be a growth spurt? Thank you!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Please upload an image of the skin condition so that I can see and get back to you. This is not related to the growth spurt.
I suggest that you use hydroxyzine. But this is a prescription drug, and you will require a doctor's prescription for it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
