- 2009/05/12 What causes hives?
Hives show up when the body releases a chemical called Histamine.
There are so many reasons this might happen that you might have trouble identifying the culprit, but here are the most likely possibilities:
- Insect bites and stings.
- If your baby's allergic to bees or fire ants, for example, he could develop Hives in reaction to being stung or bitten.
- Food.
- Your baby might get Hives in reaction to something he eats, once he's eating solids. Or he might react to something you ate if you're Breastfeeding him. The most likely Foods to offend are Tree nuts, Peanuts, Eggs, shellFish, Chocolate, Fish, Milk, Fresh or Frozen berries, tomatoes, and certain Food additives and Preservatives. (Some of these Foods, like cow's Milk, are not suitable for babies, but your baby might still react to them in your breast Milk.) He may break out in Hives because he's allergic to the protein in the Food, or simply because his body reacts to a chemical in the Food by releasing Histamine. Some children even develop Hives simply from coming into contact with certain Foods — for example, when the Juice from a strawberry gets on their skin. (Surprisingly, those same babies might not react to eating strawberries.)
- Allergens
- Babies who have developed an Allergy to cats could also break out in Hives when they touch the kitty. Your baby could even get Hives from an allergen in the air, like pollen.
- Illness.
- Your baby might get Hives when he has a cold or other Viral infection. Less commonly, he could get Hives from a Bacterial infection.
- Temperature.
- Sometimes cold Temperatures can cause Hives. The same goes for a sudden change in Temperature — such as when your baby's skin warms up after being cold.
- Drugs.
- Antibiotics and some other Medications might cause your baby to break out in Hives.
