I've broken out in hives all over & now my eyelid is starting to swell. can this wait until mon, or could it be more serious & warrant an er visit?

Depends: Any other symptoms? Had hives in the past? Take any meds or pills recently? Any antihistamine yet???? Joint or intestinal or respiratory symptoms? Probably prudent to go to ER but have you called your primary care DR yet? A dermatologist?
