maggie broke out in a few welts/hives on her hands and feet last night; at first I thought they were bug bites but we were not outside at all yesterday.. They were so itchy she was crying(unusual for her). We had a ton of company over this weekend racking my brain about something new she may be allergic to. Recently, used a new soft soap, never used before with fragrance on her; wondering if that's it. She is finishing up on her double dose of bactrim today, but she's been taking bactrim forever. Anyway. I gave her a dose of benadryl last night and the welts were pretty much gone this am. She went to school(didn't want to) When she came home from school she was fine; then she played outside for soccer practice, it was very hot...And she broke out again in welts, different spots, neck and some in the same area hands. arg!!! so I just gave her another dose of benadryl...I think the sweating and exersize stimulated that histamine respone again...I am concerned because I don't use benadryl for her but I feel like I have little choice, right now..I remember mt son a few years ago having some wierd virus and it causing hives, though I don't recall that they looked the same now itchy...Anyway, advice anyone?

When DS was a baby, we thought he had a reaction to septra but also around that time he'd gotten a couple mosquito bites (a couple had gotten in the house) and when I was little, I reacted terribly to them. We'd taken him to urgent care and he was given a script for zyrtec and that seemed to take care of the rash immediately, but made him really sleepy.
He had a similar reaction then following summer after getting a mosquito bite and since then, no issues. But he had red welts on his arms and legs, maybe his back as well... But he didn't seem to mind the welts, scratched at them if he could see them, but didn't appear uncomfortable...

SOunds like a Bactrim reaction. OFten it actually happens after the person is no longer taking the drug. My son had a mild reaction after taking it last time. We don't know for sure it was from Bactrim as it wasn't welts but more like prickly heat. If you google Bactrim reactions you will see lots of references to rash. It's worth mentioning to the doctor as they may want to do some sort of testing between now and when she may need it again. Good luck!
