A member asked:
I broke out in hives after taking dayquil. after a shot of steroids and nine days of prednisone, it went away. the hives came back today. why?

Not DayQuil: If the hives were caused by DayQuil, it would have gone away totally by now. I suspect that you are having hives which are related to something else. Try taking antihistamine to see if it helps. If the problem worsens or persists>6 weeks, see allergist.
