I understand how frustrating chronic hives can be, but please be reassured that this condition is highly treatable. The first line of defense is daily, non-sedating antihistamines such as cetirizine, loratadine, or fexofenadine. Under medical supervision, these doses can be safely increased if standard doses do not provide relief. If symptoms persist, add-on medications like montelukast may be prescribed. For resistant cases, highly effective options include a biologic injection called omalizumab, or cyclosporine. Short-term oral corticosteroids may also be used for sudden, severe flare-ups. Please consult an allergist or dermatologist to safely tailor the right treatment plan for you.
