Hives (urticaria ) are usually harmless, though they may occasionally be a sign of a serious allergic reaction.  When a child is exposed to something that can trigger hives, certain cells in the body release histamine  and other substances. This causes fluid to leak from the small blood vessels under the skin. When this fluid collects under the skin, it forms the blotches, which we call hives

common reason for getting hives is an allergic reaction triggers foods (like milk, shellfish, berries, and nuts), medications (antibiotics, corticosteroids) and also insect bite. Other causes of hives  include exposure to cold, sunligh exposure stress and viral infections such as flue. Howver, in your daughters case temperature is the indication that immune system is activated and is burning up toxins or infections. No matter what the cause, a case of hives can last for a few minutes, a few hours, or even days. HIves will clear up on their own without any medication or doctor visits. If there is a breathing difficulty, or effect on other body functions, the she needs immediate medical care. A suggestion to give her fast relief is as follows.

1. If you get fresh margosa leaves, boil them in a vessel full of water
for 15-20 minutes till water takes up color. Add this water to warm
bath water and scrub body with this water. This bath twice a day, till
skin itching subsides and all erruptions gone.
2.. Take margosa leaves juice empty stomach in morning.
3. sleeping on bed having margosa leaves spread, also beneficial.
If you cant obtain margosa leaves in fresh form,
4. Apply honey to erruptions area. This tackles itching very fast.

5. If getting margosa leaves is difficult, take 1/2 lemon juice in a glass of water, little sea salt, 1 tsp honey and 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, and mix well. Give her this drink three times a day.

6. If available, ading 1/4 tsp ginger powder, and 11 leaves of holy basil or its powder 1/4 tsp will add the power of drink.
