Question : MY 13-month-old daughter has been getting hives for past six months. It can appear and disappear within day. I really have no idea what triggers it. I have sought advice from a paediatrician but he advised me to wait for another two months or so. He doesn't like to prescribe drugs to babies unless absolutely necessary. I don't like idea of giving drugs to a small child because they may only suppress symptoms but not treat root of problem. I would like to know whether there's any natural cure for hives. Of course best treatment is to find cause of allergen! Answer : HIVES are very common, especially in people who have experienced other allergic reactions like hay fever, and are sometimes hereditary. When you, have an allergic reaction to any substance, histamine and other chemicals are released into your bloodstream. These chemicals cause itching, swelling, hives and other symptoms. When swelling or welts occur around face, especially lips and eyes, it is called angioedema; swelling from angioedema can also occur around your hands, feet, and throat. Many substances can trigger an allergic response, resulting in hives, such as medications, certain types of foods such as berries, shellfish, fish, nuts, eggs and milk, pollen and even animal dander or insect bites. Hives may also develop from an infection (like mononucleosis) or illness (including lupus and other autoimmune diseases, leukaemia and others), emotional stress, extreme cold or sun exposure and excessive perspiration.
