…we were fostering a cat, and some of my family members started getting hives. Will the hives remain treated if continually taking an antihistamine (while the cat is still here) or will they eventually be able to stop taking the antihistamine?
thanks for your answers! I really loved that cat and want her back….I guess I’ll just try to convince some of my family members to take an antihistamine.
My dad and I love her, she’s such a sweet cat.

So, do antihistamines/allergy meds actually work for stress hives? I’ve been on Prednizone since Wednesday night, with the occasional dose of Benadryl whenever I find new hives. Now, I just found a new patch of hives on my arm. They haven’t really turned into red welts, just a few raised dots. I found another one on my chest earlier, waited an hour, saw that it was beginning to go away, and took a Benadryl anyway, to speed the process. At any rate, should I still be getting them?

Two nights ago, the tops of my feet broke out with hives. By yesterday morning, they were all over my body. I have not eaten anything out of the ordinary, nor have I changed any soaps or detergents. I am one huge, miserable itch from head to toe. Besides taking Benadryl and Zyrtec, is there anything I can do to treat it? Also, how long does a typical case of hives last?

My five year old sister has hives all over her body. The doctor said its a reaction to the flu, which she had about a month ago. She is going to the doctor tomorrow (probably), but what can we do right now?
I can’t get a good picture of them, but they are light red splotches usually with one big one and then smaller ones around it, and her back is very broken out, with about 2/3 of it covered in hives. They don’t itch her too bad, but they do hurt occasionly, especially on her feet. She also has stomach pain, if that has any thing to do with it.
