hives are unlikely to be related to g6PD. They are often a part of allergy and are likely to need antiallergy medicines like say antihistaminic,or steroids.
medicines may be harmful if they are taken without prescription. So please visit a doctor to get teh diagnosis confirmed and treatment with dose and duration individualised.
thanks

Hi
After 4 to 10 days of MMR vaccination rash may occur with or without fever and nothing to worry. You can give oral antihistamines like hydroxyzine and calamine containing lotions for external application after consulting your Pediatrician.

Hi.
Thanks for your query
as mentioned by you your child has got rashes which could be allergic reaction,rashes are not related to G6PD. deficiency. You can apply calamine lotion 3 to 4 times a day on rashes,but i advise you to consult doctor if symptoms aggravate and do not give any medication by yourself as there is a list of medicines which are to be avoided .
Your son will be fine.
God bless.
