Suggest Treatment For Severe Hives

Hives / Urticaria needs management
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Hives with likely cause identified, is a good thing and already on management medications like antihistamines and corticosteroids. Also try to avoid the medications caused it in first place. If these medications don't respond one can opt for autoimmune drugs and blood protein controllers.
Apart from medications home remedies are necessary and should be opted for.
>Avoid triggers. These can include foods, medications, pollen, pet dander, latex and insect stings.
>Use an over-the-counter antihistamine. A nonprescription oral antihistamine, such as loratadine (Claritin), cetirizine (Zyrtec) or diphenhydramine (Benadryl, others), may help relieve itching.
>Apply cool, wet compresses. Covering the affected area with bandages and dressings can help soothe the skin and prevent scratching.
>Take a comfortably cool bath. To relieve itching, sprinkle the bath water with baking soda, uncooked oatmeal or colloidal oatmeal — a finely ground oatmeal that is made for the bathtub (Aveeno, others).
>Wear loose, smooth-textured cotton clothing. Avoid clothing that's rough, tight, scratchy or made from wool. This will help you avoid irritation.
I hope it helps. Rest assured hives are benign and never lethal . Not even leave a mark even with out treatment. So no worries and hope for the best.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
