A member asked:
My 93 year old mother has been popping up with hives over the past 24 hours, she is refusing to see a doctor, i don't know what to do as she has untreated closed angle glaucoma and i don't think she can take antihistamines, advice please?

As the wrong med can make her go blind I would talk to her Dr. before using any meds. Go to drugs.com and see if hives have been reported with any meds she is taking? Also do interaction check if she is taking any other meds.
