my daughter used to break out in itchy hives for no reason
(like really bad!),
at say 2 am, then disappear after an hour
once i waited in doc office and they disappeared before she saw him so no help there
then took her to a specia/different type of Chiropractor and she was ok for ages then
now only bad now if she eats whole wheat’ or ‘stressed’
find a recommended acupuncturist, nearby, or homeopath
it was a miracle when at 2 , she ate a burger from McD
(but veggie now) and was fine, no bad reactions
also she may need a very bland diet
all i can add different to the other advice that is good
