Monday, Tuesday and today DS has had hives on his cheeks, ears and hands when spending time outside. Monday he was our for a walk in the buggy and DH took him straight to the doctors where he was prescribed an antihistamine. Hives went down of their own accord before the antihistamine was given.
Tuesday we went out in the car then walked for a bit and they came up again, but calmed down when we got back in the car and pretty much disappeared when he was showered.
Today we were out at an outdoor attraction and the hives came up within 15 mins of being outside. We gave him the antihistamine but they didn't calm down until we were back in the car a couple of hours later.
What could this be? An allergy to the cold? Will it go away? He's never had them before. And he doesn't have any food allergies/intolerances. But he does have mild eczema.
