Madalyn's Hives

On Thursday of last week I noticed that Madalyn was broken out on her back, chest, and stomach in a raised rash and big circles. I called the doctor and she said to stop her eating squash that she could be having a reaction to it or it could be a viral rash. So we stopped the squash and kept her off veggies for 3 days. It didn't go away and got worse when she got hot or had her bath. So, this Thursday was a week and she was still broken out. Saturday, my mom and I took her to the doctor and she has a viral rash and was broken out in hives. She has had a cold for awhile now and the doctor said it probably came from that. So we have to give her benadryl for a few days. If it doesn't clear up by the time we go back in a few weeks for her 6 month check up then she will have to see a dermatologist to see what is causing this out break of hives.




Madalyn had so much fun waiting on the doctor. She loved to tear the paper because it made a lot of noise and she could tear it easily. Oh, and she weighed 16.8 pounds!

Is it eczema? That can be brought out in the heat. Just a thought... I'm sure he would have noticed if it was that though.

The doctor said it was not eczema; that it was hives from a viral infection. But she didn't know what had caused it and why it's still here.
