Possible hives : Your son may be experiencing an allergic reaction, please see a physician right away.
He should have a dose of pediatric antihistamine, but please do not delay in seeking medical care. The trigger may be something that he ate and a list of possible food triggers will be useful for your physician. A family history of allergies is one risk factor for an allergic reaction.
