Allergic Reaction

Poor Declan had an allergic reaction to something yesterday and broke out in hives all over his body.  We took him to the pediatrician this morning and they think it's a reaction to the amoxicillin he has been taking for an ear infection.  We stopped the antibiotic, but they want me to keep an eye on the foods I am eating in case the hives come back.  There is a chance it could be an allergy to something I have eaten.  The hives are better today, although he still has a few here and there.  He seems fussy today.  He has been fighting a nap for 5 hours which isn't like him.  Hopefully it IS a reaction to the meds, because food allergies like eggs or dairy are much harder to deal with.  I hope as the medicine leaves his system he will be back to normal.

The hives:

on his chin, forehead, cheek, thigh, arms...

leg, both arms, another shot of the ones on his face...
