A member asked:
Use of nsaids can trigger hives, but is this an allergic reaction, if no other sym's appear? it sounds more like a typical nsaid side effect, true?

Clarify: I am very confused when reading your question. Hives are often due to an allergic reaction. I suggest you clarify & re-ask question. Thank you.

No this is: The development of hiveswhile taking these drugs is an allergic reaction and you shouldn't take them again.
