hi
I would suggest you to consult your doctor earliest.fexafenadrine hcl(allegra) in my opinion would be a good substitute if you doctor agrees.Also just recall what new food stuffs you have eaten within 3-4 days prior to hives. A complete blood count and immunoglobin Ig tests could also point to the allergy state
