Could allergy shots get rid of hives?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Occasionally: Some hives are caused by severe airborne allergy. People can get hives while sitting in grass for example. This type of hives gets better with proper allergy- immunotherapy

Not usually: Chronic hives are typically related to 1. Physical (cold, heat, etc), 2. Autoimmune with antibody against ige receptor and 3. Idiopathic. (we don't know). Allergy shots will not help these. Usual triggers of acute hives are drug or food allergies-not treated with allergy shots. Bee sting reaction that resulted in generalized hives in adults would be treated with venom allergy shots.
