Stress Hives

Hurricane 1973

Does anyone’s child suffer from stress hives??? If so is this what they look like, sorry if anyone finds photos distressing. My 8 year old son has had them for the first time, and I’m just very concerned. His school is expecting him to go into an assembly tomorrow for mother’s day and sing. I believe he has stressed about it and tonight he came out in this rash, which he has now been treated for and seen.

  • IF your son is autistic id speak to his gp or phsrmacist before giving any none prescribed medication as autistic people can be very sensitive to medication. It will probably be fine but some antihistamines can have a really sedating effect. If the Gp says its ok try to keep them on you wherever you both go as I found they didnt tend to work very well if I didnt take them fast enough. If it happens regularly he may need to have allergy tests and you may need to keep a food diary for him. It may never happen again.
