Our LO is allergic to eggs (more specifically, egg whites), and he's had viruses before that bring out the hive reaction. We've always given him Benadryl if we see hives because I don't want it to progress into a breathing issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-give-benadryl#post-2083692 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 15:11:14 +0000 Adira 2083692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I think it's an allergic reaction to something or it's bothering him, I'd give Benadryl. If it's not bothering him and doesn't seem to be getting worse, I wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-give-benadryl#post-2083685 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 15:08:11 +0000 jedeve 2083685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has broken out in hives a few times after having nuts. He has tested positive for all nuts except almonds. </p> <p>The thing is, he has gotten hives randomly before as well. He has a few around his face right now but didn't eat any nuts or anything new. I'm wondering if it is just related to the cold he has? Or sensitive skin? Or if be touched something at the grocery store and is reacting to it? I'm just debating if I should give him some Benadryl before his nap. </p>
