Brief Answer:
Hives, as you know, are caused by allergy, or food intolerance mostly.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic,

Hives, as you know are caused by allergy, or food intolerance leading to acidity.
Please check your food. Try to avoid things that are highly acidic--coffee, tea, meats, chocolates, peanuts, bitters, sour foods---for a fortnight.

Along with Benadryl at night, you can take something like Fexofenadine in the day time and Omeprazole twice a day for a week.

If it does not improve, you should show a doctor to test for the suspected food and external allergies.

Feel free to ask further.
Regards
