What Causes Hives On Body And Nausea
Hi. Yesterday, I was mowing the lawn when I got two hives. I thought nothing of it because they went away within an hour. Today around noon the hives came back andaround 11:30 at night I noticed there is a crescent moon shaped rash around the one hive. The location of them makes it difficult to see if there are any puncture marks. I live in Pennsylvania if that helps narrow down a possible bite. Im not sure if it s related but this morning I felt a little nauseous around around 8:00 at night I got a really bad headache. What could it possibly be and is it something I need to see my doctor about? Thank you.

Hello,
You seem to have Hives/ Acute Urticaria. They could be due to an allergic reaction to some food or food preservative or a reaction to some drug or infection.
I suggest you take an otc oral antihistamine e.g Cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for a few days. You may use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to help calm down the hives.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
