Uricartica, (Hives/nettle rash) Anyone have experience of this in a baby ?

[bensmum4]

I think dd (9 months) has uricartica (not sure if I've spelt that right), huge red welts coming and going all over her body, eyes and lips puffy during last night, anybody have any experience of this please ?

has she seen a doctor?

Iam bf, she is on solids 3x a day and boiled water in this hot weather. She saw Gp this morning who agreed it might be uricartica.

here is some info:

my dd1 used to get hives all the time as a baby and toddler. We never worked out what caused it and eventually she stopped getting it. She also had/has eczema so I presume it was an allergic reaction to something.
I kept it under control with Piriton and also gave her Calpol (she'd often get a high fever with it too, but then she was one of those tots who'd get a temp of 41C for no evident reason and quite often)

This is the first time this has appeared, which is why we got the gp to check her this morning, I cant think she has had anything different in the last 36 hours. She is a bit irritable at the moment, cant stay asleep, but doesnt have a high temp.

Thankyou KerryMum, we have been dairy free for 6 months. Her skin is clear this morning , so I guess we will just have to wait and see if it happens again.
