My wife has ra and all nsaids cause hives whenever she take any.and despite the chronic hives.if she insist on taking them. will she suffer any harm?

Stop them: NSAIDs are a poor choice to treat RA. Continued use by a person who is allergic to them may lead to more serious and even life threatening allergic reactions. I hope she is under the care of a rheumatologist.
