About hives...: Hives are raised, itchy bumps caused by histamine, a chemical released during an allergic reaction. Blocking histamine with an oral anti-histamine will help prevent new hives from forming, and help current hives fade away. For kids older than 1 year, oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can be used. For kids over 2 years, oral Zyrtec or Claritin can be used. Hydrocortisone 1% cream can also help.
