Could The Hives Be A Result Of Some Lingereing Infection?

I had a stomach virus last month and soon thereafter I have been having hives . Could the hives be a result of some lingereing infection. I don t think it s a food alergy. I feel great, no fatigue, aches , etc.., other than the recurring hives. Any helpful advice???

Hi,
You should'nt have hives repeatedly if its not allergy related.It could be due to medication,food to contact.Try antihistamines but the source needs to be identified.Trace what you ate or came in contact with after the viral illness last month.
