Hi,,,welcome to HCM Your husband is having skin condition called 'Urticaria' commonly referred to as hives, appears as raised recurrent, well-circumscribed areas of erythema and edema,,lasting for hours,, with or without itching... According to the newer guidelines for urticaria- H1-blocking agents are the first line drugs..i.e.One should start with the usual dose of them...if the symptoms are uncontrolled, the dose can be increased up to four-fold. Use Allegra-180 i.e. fexofenadine twice a day and you may increase the dose to 4 times if required... If using claritin, do not use more than 10mg/day thanks
