Had Allergy Shots Of 'adrenaline' For Hives On Arms And Pelvic Region With Some Relief. Is Another Shot Required To Prevent The Allergy Reaction?
hi I just got home from the hospital , I had an allergy shot and I broke out in hives on mostly my arms, both sides, and my pelvic region, was hard to breathe, they gave me Benadryl and adrenaline , the bendryl didn't work but after that adrenaline its fading, I still have the iv taped and wrapped because I might need another one in the morning, its pretty annoying ..will I need that other shot/dose ?do you think I should take it out ? can the allergic reaction come back?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The Adrenaline therapy can only be used in emergency, if you do not have such emergency then no need to take the adrenaline, instead I would advise you to find out the cause of your allergy and just keep away from this, have long acting antihistamine in high dose for at least 15 days this will help you lot have nice day.
