Suggest Treatment For Welts And Hives On Infant

My two year old grandbaby starting get welts and hives a couple of days ago. We give her Benadryl and it goes away but keeps coming back worse. The doctor said it could be an allergic reaction to practically anything. Should we be concerned the welts are getting bigger and coming back more frequently? I am entering a valid email address. It is not working!!!

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be hypersensitivity reaction and this could be self limiting, if this is not then it can be managed with long acting antihistamine and best medicine would be "Levocetirizine" dose need to be adjusted according to weight and this is nothing to worry, hope this helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
