A member asked:
What to do if i have hives for 2 months now. is it possible they could turn deadly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: unless you develop angioedema as well, which can be severe to cause shortness of breath or blockage of the airway, hopefully that won't be the case, please visit an allergist to help you with chronic hives you have, check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area, good luck
