Is There Any Quick Remedy To Get Rid Of Hives?

I have been itching all over my body. The doctors say its hives, so I got a prescription for Benadryl. It doesn't seem to help that much. I still itch really bad and am starting to swell up really bad. Do you know of any quick remedies to help get rid of the hives?
