When Can Medicines For Hives Be Taken Following Injections?
I went to the hospital today because I had severe hives and was injected with Benadryl, Adrenaline, and Steroids and the hives went away for a few hours and now they are coming back slowly and I was prescribed medicine but my doctor told me to take it tomorrow but the hives are coming back so do I wait for tomorrow or take them now.

It is best that you go to the hospital immediately... Hives may progress to anaphylaxis which is a life threatening condition...It is always better to be safe than sorry...You may require another dose of adrenaline and steroids...so don't waste time and go to the hospital....
