My 5 year old daughter is breaking out in hives and it appears as though her tonsils are swollen with one small white spot on each. She has not been complaining of a sore throat nor does she have a fever, however, she has been sent home from school the past two days due to hives coming in the afternoon. Today is worse than yesterday. Are the hives and tonsils related?
Hi...hives and tonsils do not seem to be related. But sometimes when there are hives, the airways tend to get swollen and can even cause obstruction. If there is any breathing difficulty or noisy breathing, then you need to take her immediately to emergency room. You can use HY Chat Doctor.  Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine, but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your pediatrician. Regards -
