Be aware of the causes of hives. There are many different reasons a child may develop hives. Whether the hives are localized or widespread on your childâs, knowing what can cause hives may help you effectively treat the hives at home or decide to visit the pediatrician. 1  Foods such as shellfish, nuts, milk, and fruit may cause hives. 2  Hives from food usually go away within six hours of ingestion.
Hives are red and sometimes itchy bumps on your skin. An allergic reaction to a drug or food usually causes them. Allergic reactions cause your body to release chemicals that can make your skin swell up in hives. People who have other allergies are more likely to get hives than other people. Other causes include infections and stress. Hives are very common. They usually go away on their own, but if you have a serious case, you might need medicine or a shot. In rare cases, hives can cause a dangerous swelling in your airways, making it hard to breathe - which is a medical emergency.
