6 yr old had ear infect in oct took amoxicil for 6.5 days instead of 10. month later got strep took cefdinir for 10days 6 wk later has hives related?

Not likely: The reason hives occurs is not clear, but if hives were a drug reaction to cefdinir, the hives occur during or shortly after (few days) of completing the antibiotic. Sometimes hives can be related to an infection including viral infections and strep throat.
