How can you treat itching due to urticaria?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Antihistamines: For most patients antihistamines such as benadryl, (diphenhydramine) zyrtec, Allegra and Claritin are effective. If these are not effective second line treatment (off-label) could include Doxepin and singulair and h2 antihistamines, such as zantac. It is important to find the cause of the hives, and an allergist may be able to help.
