What Causes Hives On The Arms And Feet Of A Toddler?
My 21 month old granddaughter threw up 9 days ago, then 3 days ago her hands swelled. My son took her to the doctor and they gave her an antibiotic. Yesterday she developed a fever and today she developed hive-looking spots (that don t itch) on her hands and arms. Possibly a few on her feet. She was tested for Strep but those results aren t ready until Friday we were told. Any idea what she could have?
