Had Diarrhea, Now Broken Out In Hives. Cause?
Brief Answer:
Hives not due to potassium depletion
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
What you are having now is acute urticaria.The most common cause of acute urticaria is food. Seafood, meat, poultry, egg, milk, apples, brinjal, strawberry, coloring agents etc are commonly implicated. It is subjective and any food can cause it. Other common causes are medicines, infections, insect bites etc.
In your case I will suspect diarrhoea (gastrointestinal infection) as first suspect followed by the food which was responsible for the diarrhoea or the medicines which you took for the diarrhoea as the triggers for your hives.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
