Itchy hives continues
I am getting itchy hives in different parts of body.As per doctor I took Allegra 180.. 1 tab daily.I continued for 15 days. I was completely normal during 15 days.Once I stop the medicine itchy hives are coming back.I am not taking any other medicine. Not sure what is causing this allergy.
Could you please suggest what are the next steps I should take to get the relief?
1. Shall I increase the Allegra dose will it help?
2. Do I need to do blood test? Before this disease I have got blood test done.But no sign of Thyroid or diabetes.Ido not have history of allergy also.
Kindly suggest.I am really worried.

You are probably suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy, infection or drugs taken for some condition. It presents with itching resulting in formation of red rashes which we call hives or wheals. Although in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be treated with medicines so that you do not get any new hives. The treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 1 to 6 months. Please call me or contact me through online consult option for further details and treatment..
