<human>: I started having hives 2 days ago. Hives are covered my arms, legs and upper body. It comes and go as I take Benadryl. The urgent care Doctor prescribed prednizone and has not helped yet. It wakes me up 2:00 in the morning and I stay up most of the night. Its itchy and irritable. I started jugging and dieting so thats the change it has been in my physical. I have been tested for allergies and I had no allergies before I got hives. I was seeing Ent doctor for my sinus problem. I was prescribed antibiotic about a month ago for two weeks. I am 48 years old, female, weigh 133. I take synthroid for thyroid and Enjuvia for hormone replacement because of hysterectomi I had 8 years ago. I had a physical checkup six months ago and cholesterol was 229 and I noticed that my Absolute EOSINOPHILS was 585 H(15-500) cells. My doctor didnt mention anything about it. Could you please help me. Thanks, Leila
<bot>: Hello Leila, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history. As you are having hives for last 2 days only, I would say at present you are having "Acute Urticaria". Were I treating you, I would prescribe you tablet cetirizine for 5-7 days depending upon response. If you still have nighttime symptoms, I would add table thy Chat Doctor. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you a quick recovery and the best of the health. Regards.
