Maybe two weeks ago my son got hives. Then over the next several days hives and eczema which spread all over his body. Severe.<br>
We had allergy testing 9 days ago. He came up positive to foods he was eating along with tons of environmentals (grass, trees, pollens, cats).<br>
I suspected two of the foods he tested positive to as the source of the hives because they were introduced right when all of this started.<br>
Well, now it is has been over a week and he still gets itchy and some small hives when the bendryl wears off. I am concerned...why would he still be reactive when I took out the bad foods?<br>
Yes, we still have cats, there are still trees and all too, but all that was in place before this happened to him. The foods weren't. So I really think it was the foods.<br>
Why is he still itchy? Can it take this long to get stuff out of your system or is something else going on?<br>
I don't think the hives were related to trees or other outdoor things because it had been absolutely frigid and we didn't really go outside much at all. I just can't see the counts being high then. And he got sick right after this appt. so he didnt' go outside at all until the last two days--and immediately afterward I gave him a bath, changed his clothes, and used a nasal spray to rinse his nose.
