Hives

[Peacefulbird]

Hi. I had those cases. If it seems that doesn't affect them then I just make sure to take a picture, write an observation form indicating the foods the child has eaten the reaction (including behavior) the approx. Length it lasted and pass this information to parents. It is up to them ( and I recommend ) to try it again or mention it to their pediatrician (making easy for them to diagnose if it is a food sensitivity or allergies).

In mother of the cases I saw children react with hives to acidic food such as: tomatoes, strawberries range juice etc.

I hope it helps.

I had a child years ago develop hives shortly after our lunch. I didn't send her home as no other symptoms, I just let mom know what was eaten. I'm embarrassed to admit, I had served white cheddar that I didn't realize in my rushing, had a sprinkle of white mold on it and caused child to hive. I only realized it in evening when I took out the cheese for dinner and noticed it then. I admitted to mother who didn't mind. No hives again after that. But if they persist or become huge welts which also happened to a child I had (who ended up having a nut allergy), I'd ask for allergy testing.
