[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6 yr. old daughter got H1N1 and seasonal shot at same time.  One week later she developed hives.  They seem to come out only at night.  Anti-histamines help.  She has NEVER had hives before.  I can not figure what is going on.  The doctor said that if it was a food allergy, the hives would be immediate.  These hives seem to like 2:00 am.  Anyone know of hives that seem to be time-linked?[/quote]

Allergic reactions happen pretty much right away.  I think you should look into any foods she ate in the hours prior to the hives.[/quote]

I wanted to chime in that if an allergic reaction they would be right away, not days later.  [/quote]

Just wanted to say that the above is not necessarily true.  My DS is allergic to penicillin (horrible hives that last up to 3 weeks).  The first time he got the hives, it was three days AFTER finishing his round of antibiotic.  Subsequently, he has been tested, and it is indeed the penicillin he is allergic to.  Hives are weird, and usually it's hard to tell what they are from, why, or how long they are going to last.  It is kind of scary.  [/quote]
