Suggest Treatment For Hives

My 11 year old daughter had welts and hives all over her body 8AM yesterday. Took her to PCP they said allergic reaction gave a steroid injection. RX for Prednisone 20mg 2x day and Benadryl 25mg 2 tabs every 6-8 hrs. She has taken oral RX last night she cleared almost all up. 10:30 AM today it s back and much worse. Covering her neck and ears along with completely covering legs & arms. Patches on abd too. Itchy. Do we wait for RX to work? What can we do?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question. Hives can take several days up to two weeks before completely raolving, even with the appropriate medicines. It is not unusual to see some resolution then see the hives come back. This is it's typical course. I recommend patience. She is taking the right medications and in a short time it will resolve.
