Hi my name is Jane and I have had a strange outbreak of hives for almost a month now. As long as I am on prednisone, banadryl and famotidine they seem to go away and after I am off the prednisone about 4 days they return. I just finished my second round of prednisone and low an behold after only 3 days of stopping the prednisone the hives have returned. I can not figure out what is causing them because I have always used the same things. HELP!
Hi, Food/ food preservatives, infections (viral e.g. flu, bacterial e.g. a recent sore throat, fungal etc.), medications/ Chat Doctor. However, a lot of the cases have no identifiable cause on history. The strategy is to manage symptomatically for 2-3 weeks with an oral antihistamine e.g. Tab Cetirizine once a day for a few days. In addition, I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g. calamine lotion to calm down the rashes.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
