Suggest Treatment For Skin Rashes After C Section
I have hives after taking hydrocodone. I had a c section on Sept 8th, stopped taking any hydrocodone on the 15th, the hives appeared on the 16th and seem to be getting worse. I m taking benadryl and using hydrocortisone cream. When should they stop getting worse and start clearing up?

Hi,
It may be acute urticaria most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend Tab fexofenadine 180 mg daily in the morning and cap doxepin 25 mg at night. Oral steroid in tapering dose may be taken under doctor's supervision.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care..
