Child. Severe Hives, Ashtma, Allergies. No Help From OTC Loratadine. Suggested Manifestation Of Allergies Or Virus. Recommend
I have a 9 year old girl with a severe case of hives. She has several allergies and also has asthma. The hives started yesterday. She was given Loratadine (over the counter). Through the night, the hives became worse and woke in the morning with more hives, including on her face. She was taken to our Urgent Care Clinic this a.m. The physician said it could be a manifestation of her allergies or a virus. He recommended continuing the antihistamine but advised to watch her asthma carefully. The hives have not gotten any better throughout the day today. Do you have any recommendations?
