Hives on the face in children

Children are very prone to getting sick, by having contact with everything around them they can be victims of some infection, not necessarily risky, but very uncomfortable for their daily walk.

It is important that as soon as you notice the change, you assess the development of the hives. Many times it can be skin contact with infectious agents, some food consumed or a reaction to some medication.
