What are the recommended medical next steps for managing acute urticaria that continues to spread across the body and face despite receiving consecutive daily injections of antihistamines (Avil) and corticosteroids (Dexona)?
I understand how distressing it is to deal with spreading hives, especially while already receiving daily injections of Avil and Dexona. Since your symptoms are continuing to progress, the most important next step is to be evaluated by a medical specialist, such as an allergist or dermatologist, or to visit an urgent care clinic. They may need to adjust your medications, perhaps introducing a different class of antihistamines or oral medications. Please seek emergency medical care immediately if you experience any difficulty breathing, throat tightness, or swelling of your lips or tongue.
