I am presently controlling my Hives with 10 mg of
Zyrtec and then 50 mg of Benadryl, both taken at night. Here is a list of potenial hive aggravating foods and medications: beer, berries, chocolate, citrus, nuts, shellfish, tomatoes, wine. Medications: Aspirin, Non-steroidal/ antiinflammatory drugs (such as Alleve, Advil, etc), and codeine preparations. Try to limit the intake of the above foods and medications while your hives are actively flaring. GOOD LUCK!
