What is the best treatment for hives all over body for 8 weeks now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: If you aren't already taking anything, you could try over the counter antihistamines - both H1 and H2 blockers like zyrtec and zantac. However, if you've had hives for 8 weeks, you need to see your PCP. You may need to be referred for allergy testing or have other things looked at.
