Yes, a cold can sometimes cause hives in children, but it is rare. If your child is experiencing hives, it is best to consult a doctor to determine the cause and the best treatment. If your child has trouble with Benadryl, alternatives such as Claritin, Reactine, or Aerius can be used. It is important to discuss the appropriate dose with a pharmacist, as it may vary based on your child's weight and age.
