I have been getting hives all summer and the
antihistamines do not appear to work. Is there anything else I can take?
Yes, ask your doctor for a prescription of
corticosteroids. These medications will rapidly improve the hives. If your
hives are chronic, you may want to try the antidepressant, doxepin. IT is an
excellent drug, the only drawback is that it can cause sedation- so you have to
take it at bedtime. It is also relatively cheap. Creams like capsaicin do not help
and are expensive. Hope this helps
