Aiden's Hives
Oh goodness Aiden got some BAD hives this week. It happened on Friday and they came on quick and bad. Poor little guy. A cool bath a few doses of benedryl {per pedi} cleared it up but it was hard to see him scratching and pulling on his ear. Here are a few pictures. Oh and just to answer the question, we think it was grape jelly - my hubby is allergic to all fruits.

Poor babe! I used to get hives a lot when I was little, until we found out it was the laundry detergent my grandparents washed the sheets in at their house. Sometimes those causes are just so hard to pinpoint!
Poor Aiden! Doesn't it make you feel helpless when they're miserable with itching like that?
We always had a big stock of Benedryl around for my daughter...it seemed like everything environmental or medicinal got to her (but no foods).
And with The Boy, we used it as a sleep aid (per doctor's recommendation).
How scary for you and unfortunate that he could be allergic to fruit as well.
Emily is allergic to eggs, it was so scary to see her break out in hives at only 9 months. :( We, too always have Benedryl on hand as well as an Epi-Pen.
Ah poor little guy! Hope he doesn't react this way to all fruits!
Oohhh Nooo!!!
Poor thing!
As someone who gets hives, I know they are no fun! Good thing he has an attentive mommy who can zero in on the culprit ;)
I feel so bad!! The poor little thing. My Christopher used to get hives alot when he was younger. Sometimes it could just his way of fighting off something opposed to an allergy. I guess you will see if you give him jelly again. He looks like he is at least having fun in the bath!!
poor baby!!! hubs and fruit? i couldn't survive! haha
Awwww...poor baby!!
AJ just got an ear infection last week and then got some kind of rash along with it. I thought it was an allergic reaction to his antibiotics, but the doc said nope.
Hope Aiden is feeling better!
