Dr. Kristin Sokol answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Hives: Hives can occur for many different reasons - viral infections, food allergy, medication allergy, insect sting allergy, or rarely an allergy to an environmental allergen. Try oral antihistamines for relief of hives and itching. See PCP or allergist if not resolving.
