Suggest Treatment For Hives, Chest Tightness And Swelling In The Feet

30 year old male, has Crohns. He takes Pantoprazole, 40 mg. Broke out in hives around 3pm 11/3, yesterday. Had swollen feet and chest tightness. ER around 6pm, said take more Benadryl and sent him home. Hives and swelling settled down. 4am this morning, 11/4/17, hives returned and Benadryl didn t help. Urgent care @ 9am prescribed hydrocortisone and to take ibuprofen. Knees are swollen and hives are still widespread at this time, 2:50 pm. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thank you

For hives hydrocortisone works best. So what you can do is along with hydrocortisone take FEXOFENADINE 180mg i.e by brand name HISTAFREE 180mg or any other available in store near you.This will help to reduce the inflammation. but you need to take for15 days .
