Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The symptoms of hive as you describe are generally caused by Allergic reactions, chemicals in certain foods, insect stings, sunlight exposure, or medications.The best treatment is to identify the triggering factor(allergen) and avoid.However, it is always very difficult to identify the allergen.I will advise you try the following:
-Take an anti-histamine like loratadine
-A steroid like prednisolone for say 5 days.You may see the Doctor for a long acting steroid injection like diprostene since your symptoms have been persisting for long
If the symptoms persist, you see an Allergist for evaluation.
Hope this will help
Best regards
