A member asked:
Is it possible to be allergic to all antihistamines (hives)? i see hives 90mins after taking 3 different antihit's on different days.

See a dermatologist: Why taking antihistamine? When you see the dr be prepared to name all antihistamines tried. Exact names. It is possible but very unlikely to get hives from antihistamines: they are used to stop hives.
