Why is my 16-month-old daughter still getting hives and skin rashes even though we have stopped giving her eggs for a month, kept her away from potential grass and pet triggers, and treated her with Allegra, Atarax, and Elocon ointment?
Sometimes, hives in toddlers are not caused by food or pets, but can be triggered by recent viral infections, temperature changes, or even stress. While medications like Allegra (fexofenadine), Atarax (hydroxyzine), and Elocon (mometasone) help soothe the itching and reduce inflammation, they manage the symptoms rather than cure the underlying cause. Since the rash is persisting, I highly recommend consulting a pediatric allergist or dermatologist. They can help safely identify the exact trigger and adjust her treatment plan.
