What are the recommended next steps and medical precautions for managing acute hives that are worsening, spreading to the face, and not fully responding to antihistamines like cetirizine and fexofenadine (Allegra-M)?
Since your current antihistamines, cetirizine and fexofenadine (Allegra-M), aren't fully controlling the flare-up, the most important next step is to be evaluated by a doctor. They can prescribe stronger, short-term treatments to help soothe your skin. Please seek immediate medical care if you experience any swelling of your lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, or dizziness. In the meantime, try to avoid hot showers and known triggers to keep your skin as comfortable as possible.
