Take Cetirizine 10mg or Loratadine 10mg, increasing dose for up to 40mg/day
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
What you are describing seems typical allergy- hives and good reaction to benadryl.
You feel dizzy because of the effect of bendryl.
I would recommend to check carefully around and see what did cause you those hives and what are you allergic from- A new perfume, a new shampoo, detergent, cream, tried new food. If nothing has changes, then maybe you have been sensitivised and now are allergic to something.
You may do the allergy tests when possible to find out what makes you allergic.
For now, the treatment of hives is to take Cetirizine 10mg, up to 4 tablets per day, or Loratadine 10 mg, for 2 weeks. If they persist more then 2 weeks then you should see a local allergologist.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
