Update
Well, things were fine until yesterday. He got hives again for and this time we are at a loss for a cause.
We thought the hives were due to the humidifier but we haven't used it since it became suspect. We haven't changed his diet or given him anything he hasn't had before. No change in soaps, no new clothes, no new toys....nothing.
I've heard two things in last few month that may be a cause and want to see if anyone else has heard of this also.
#1 Hives can be the bodies reaction to teething. He is going through a major teething phase right now and I think he was last time also.
#2 Hives can be a reaction to fighting off a virus such as a cold.
I'm starting to believe that one or both of these are possible in this case as he doesn't have any other signs that this is an allergic reaction. He doesn't have any trouble breathing and they don't appear to both him in the least (no itching). I also read that nearly all allergic reactions in toddlers appear withing one hour of exposure to the allergen. His developed overnight in every case, and again with no exposure to anything new.
