I hope someone can help me as I'm really worried about my DS. In the last few days he has developed hives which come and go on his legs, hands and feet. I took him to the GP yesterday but there was no sign of them during the appointment (typical). The GP checked him over and said there wasn't any signs of any ENT infections and that the hives were most likely a result of a virus.
My worry now though is that he has a food allergy as the hives came back almost immediately after eating his dinner last night and again this morning after breakfast. He is really off colour and has a cough, runny nose and conjunctivitis. Where do I start if it is an allergy? For breakfast he had porridge and fruit toast but he has had these since he was weaned. Can you develop an allergy to something at any point, or are you born with them? I'm so worried!
