What Causes Intermittent Hives On The Body?
Question: Hello,
I am 24 years old. I have been having hives on and off for the last 5/6 weeks. I took bendryl which seemed to help. I have been to get an alergie test and everything I am alergic to is what i already know. They did not test me for food.
Can this be serious ? Or a sign of another type
of sickness?

Brief Answer:
Nothing serious, undergo certain tests if persists
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Healthcaremagic
According to your complaints you seem to be having urticaria which is an allergic reaction.
It could be due to infection, drugs, foods, thyroid disorders and sometimes it occurs without any cause.
It is not a serious issue and will settle on its own.
It it persists I would recommend you to undergo certain tests like complete blood count, thyroid function tests, urine routine examination, stool examination for ova and cysts to rule out infection and thyroid disorders.
Meanwhile you can take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once daily for 2-3 weeks.
