Avatar f tn Also, I figured out I cannot even take some pills like Pepcid for heartburn because they cause hives all over me and are very itchy hives. The hives today were not bad itchy thankfully. Truthfully, I do not what drugs I can take since I can have either no reaction, hives or swelling. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Any suggestions on how to deal with my allergies? I have many allergies but things have been fairly bearable until pollen season. Thanks.
Avatar f tn This little bout of hives were taking their time going away and so she thought by taking the antihistamine it would help the process. In the past, she has had hives that appeared to relate to her taking Tylenol or Advil but because she had such a bad headache about 7 days ago, she decided to risk it and take an Advil knowing that she might have a slight reaction but because her headache was so bad, she was willing to risk it.
Avatar n tn Allergic reactions cause the body to release chemicals that can make the skin swell up in hives. People who have other allergies are more likely to get hives than other people. Other causes include infections and stress. Hives are very common. They usually go away on their own, but of course, it still strongly recommended having it checked by a doctor who can look at the lesion as well as the tattoo for proper evaluation.
Avatar f tn It itches so badly but I try not to scratch it. Now I take antihistamine everyday in the evening but still I get the rashes. Some nights the shapes are round and other nights, it’s like lines. Are these hives or eczema? Why do I get it at night? Is it due to food?

Avatar n tn Hi, just wondering if anybody experienced hives on the entire body after total hysterectomy. Even after having been injected with antihistamine and stopping the prescribed antibiotic on the 5th day instead of 7 days as prescribed by the doctor, the rashes continues. Are these rashes a result of a low immune system caused by the operation (total hysterectomy) or by something else? Also, when I scratch my skin will show some yellow bruises. Is this something to be alarmed of?
Avatar f tn Okay, here is my story,I am 28 and I have just been diagnosed with chronic hives and swelling, I am allergic to myself.....FUN! After 8 months of constant hives, lip swelling, eye swelling and finger swelling, i went to an allergist and got prescribed Xyzal. It worked great for the first 2 weeks and i was over joyed to have my life back! But the past few days, some hives have started to come back. I have been taking benadryl along with the xyzal as needed.
Avatar m tn Hi, You should continue with the antihistamine medications and review with your skin specialist about how you are doing. You should try to keep the area dry and clean. Try some powder to absorb the sweat. Use a medicated sunscreen lotion - preferably one prescribed by a skin specialist and re apply it every 2 hrs. Apply calamine lotion at the sites. Wash the sites with fresh water several times daily. Let us know if you have any doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.
Avatar n tn The mainstay of treatment of hives is antihistamine which may be necessary for prolonged periods (in excess of 6 weeks). Double conventional doses of these non-sedating antihistamines such as Cetirizine, Loratadine, Acrivastine and Fexofenadine may be needed to get symptom relief. Sedating antihistamines such as Chlorphenamine or Hydroxyzine are used at night to get urticaria control.
620048 tn?1358018235 Hi Meg Whatever the reason for the hives you must get it seen to and at the very last take some antihistamine. You are "hiving" such a tough time at the moment so allow yourself to wallow and get all the sympathy and help you can. BUT please get checked out to this allergic reaction..you cannot be too careful and I hope that Dr C has some answers. Hope you are not itchy as well.
Avatar n tn Someone else told me maybe from Tylenol, so I switched back to advil (when I get headaches) and I still got hives. Could not match the hives to times I took either Advil or Tylenol, or when I was menstruating or not. This past month, got period twice and hives twice, second one worse than the first. Benadryl allowed me to sleep but hives still there. The only thing that makes sense to me is that it is tied to my hormones - I am 52 years old. What can I do?
Avatar f tn Hello, Skin rash and itching is a common side effect of Thiamzole and this itchy skin rash that your mother is having can be due to hives as a result of the side effect of this drug. For such hives, first of all the medication needs to be changed to some other drug. Then the primary treatment is by oral antihistamines. The most potent antihistamine, however, is probably the anti-depressant doxepin. You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area.
1965789 tn?1325556251 It looks like hives, and she does attempt to scratch them some, i gave her some childrens antihistamine which has not seemed to help much , she is still eating and drinking and playing well though she seems a bit miserable with itchiness, should i take her to the er or wait til morning to set an appointment?
595729 tn?1219264277 There was a 3 month time when I was going to the doctor for aniexety and was being perscribed Xanex,during those months my hives deminshed. I maybe had hives 2 times it was a great 3 months. Once I came off of the perscription the hives slowly came back. I've been off of Xanex since Feb. and hives are back in full force. Watch the Xanex tho you could get addicted.
Avatar n tn t be the drug because the hives were not persistent and did not appear until day 5. They said that if it was the drug, the hives would have appeared earlier and would have stuck around. I would be fine with this explanation if only I could be really really sure that it was right, which is why I'm now looking around for more information. It just seems so odd that I would get this suddenly while on a drug (but I realize that it can happen).

Avatar f tn The hydrocodone is long out of her system and should not be causing the hives. Her doctor should investigate another culprit. Hives are indeed an allergic reaction. Antihistamines like benadryl will help with the discomfort. Is she taking an antihistamine? I have seen people who are allergic to them and their symptoms become worse.
Avatar n tn Why are you sure the hives started from the thyroid med? Is it possible that the cause for being on Levo and Synthroid was that you were diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, with which the autoimmune system erroneously identifies the thyroid gland as foreign to the body and produces antibodies to attack and eventually destroy the gland? If so, Hashi's antibodies have been identified as causing something referred to as Hashi's rash.
Avatar f tn About 2 weeks later i got chills and my hands started to itch uncontrollably followed later by hives in random places (no pattern to where they were) but mainly arms, stomach, and scalp. Called my neurologist, heard back from his nurse who said there was no way it was related to solumedrol. Because my walking had gotten worse and had chills, the neuro said get checked for a UTI (that's a whole other conversation). Went to GP, tested negative.
Avatar m tn These symptoms which respond to an antihistamine are probably hives. If the symptoms are severe and persistent seek the consultation of an allergist for further evaluation and management. Do keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
