Suggest Treatment For Hives After Taking Prednisone

My husband has COPD treated with inhalers and albuterol nebulizer treatments. It exacerbated and they gave him steroids and sent him home with prednisone, specifically. On the evening of 4th day of prednisone, he got hives. He continues to have hives going on 4 days. (He has Had hives a year ago. Never determined cause.)Should he stop the nebulizer treatments?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. I see similar cases amongst young people who visit my clinic.I recommend:
-anti-allergenic diet-eliminate allergens - avoid chocolate, nuts,strawberry, raspberry,chicken,tomato soup, honey,seafood,etc.;
- oral antihistamine-allegra-fexofenadine 1 tablet once a day for 10-14 days;
-Chloropyramine 2 ml intramuscular for 5 days;
-absorbent-Charcoal -3 tablets 2 times ;
- stop taking remedy,which cause hives;
- add enzymes and LIV 52 for imrovement of digestion.
Start on these changes and get back to me in 2 weeks. Wish you and your husband good health.
But Prednisolon needs in gradual decreasing of dosage .
