Antihistamines: Hives are very common affecting 25% of the population. If the trigger of the hives can be identified, then avoid the trigger. To decrease the itching and redness, an antihistamine such as allegra, zyrtec, claritin, Clarinex or xyzal (levocetirizine) can help without causing a lot of drowsiness. Usually antihistamines and time will work; if not, an allergist can help find the trigger and offer other treatments.
