I am just looking to see if anybody else has had any similar experiences with their children because I am a total loss on what to do now.
My little girl is nearly 2 years old and in September she came out with hives over her face and on her torso which I put down to her having cranberry juice for the first time. I took her to the walk-in and I gave piriton and they agreed with me that it would possibly be the cranberry juice and it went down with Piriton I left just assuming that she had an allergy to berries.
She then had a viral infection a couple of weeks ago and halfway through that viral infection she came up in hives all over her body really aggressive hives everywhere. I took her to the walk-in because I was so concerned about her and the doctor then referred us for allergy testing because she said that it could possibly be a dairy allergy .
Since then, I’ve been giving gluten-free dairy free foods also cutting out tomato and citrus because I’ve notice that they also trigger her. Since being dairy free, I have noticed that she hasn’t flared as much she has mildly flaring but no one near as much as what she was.
I’ve taken her a soft play this morning and she’s woken up with no hive. She’s had Weetabix and oat milk and she’s been absolutely fine. She’s bumped heads really really mildly bumped heads not even enough to leave a mark on the other child and she’s come up in a hive where she’s bumped her head . I’m now concerned that this may possibly not be a dairy allergy at all and it could be something triggering her that every time she gets a scratch or a bump she comes up in a hive.
Has anybody else had anything like this before? And if so what did it end up being? I have booked for a doctor’s appointment later just to doublecheck because I am a bit concerned that this bump has caused a hive when she’s been hive free this morning?
Thank you
