I had the problem of rhinitis for a long time for which i was put on fluticasone spray and rupatadine tab. i stopped using the meication after relief some 2 months back. could the hives be because of the earlier rhinitis that i had? Please advice. thank you.

Hello,

You had rhinitis problem for a long time. Presently, you are suffering from hives. You are suggested to get clinically examined by your health care provider or dermatologist. Get skin tests and blood tests done to check for specific antibodies in your blood. You will be accordingly treated. If your body is making too many antibodies, you can develop hives and swelling.

To get relieve from hives, take a cool bath or shower, wear loose-fitting clothing and apply cold compresses. Take antihistamines, at bed time for relieve and apply ointment hydrocortisone on the area affected for relief. Be careful, avoid touching anything that triggers your symptoms, do not eat food that causes you symptoms. Acute hives go away with antihistamines while chronic hives may need to be treated with steroids. Get clinically evaluated, get treated. Stay away from addictions if any.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
