My 3.5-year-old has been dealing with these itchy hives all over their body that are really irritating. It seems to happen everywhere. What could be causing this, and how can we help soothe the itching? Are there any common triggers we should be looking out for?

You are suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy, infection or drugs taken for some condition. It presents with itching resulting in formation of red rashes which we call hives or wheals. Although in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be treated with medicines so that you do not get any new hives. The treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 1 to 6 months.
