Insect bite ?'s: Allergic reactions in children require evaluation by a dermatologist or pediatrician. If this progresses, obtain a referral to properly address the reaction.

Allergic reaction: If the hives seem to be worsening even after taking oral cetirizine, she needs to be seen by a Dr, as she may be progressing towards an anaphylactic response. Do not delay in getting her to an urgent care facility.
