Can you help me with my hives that are on my arms and now are moving to my face? for 3 weeks now i have had hives on my arms and now is on my face.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hives: Start with otc Cetirizine 10mg by mouth twice daily and otc ranitidine 150mg by mouth twice daily. It is safe to use Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at bedtime since it can cause drowsiness.
