A member asked:
Hi. i broke out with extreme hives about a week ago, with intense itching. i started taking an antihistamine in fexofenadine. it works perfectly. i have been taking it for a week, but i am afraid to stop the treatment in case the hives come back. ?

Hives: You pose a difficult question. If it turns out that the urticaria (hives) recur promptly after stopping fexofenadine you may have to take it long term. Do you know of any allergen that is triggering your hives? You may need to go to an allergist for evaluation and treatment.
