[quote=Anonymous]My daughter, 3, gets hives at the injection site after every shot she has every recieved.  She has no allergies to food or anything else we have found but shots.  The hives do not spread over her entire body.  The hives appear the next day after the shots and last 1-2 weeks, but they are localized at the injection site...when in her leg the hives spread from the top of her thigh to the knee and when in her arm from the shoulder to the elobow.

The dr says it is not hives and can't tell me what they are just a reaction but my mom is allergic to the sun and gets hives from it all the time (she knows what they look like)...these looked like my mom's hives only on my daughter.  My daughter also itched them to the point of bleeding because they were so itchy.  I think they are hives!

I was on the fence about the H1N1 vaccine/nasal spray and from hearing all the hives stories I think we will not get her the shot.  I am worried about the nasal spray because what if this creates breathing problems?  Thanks for the help![/quote]
