Can hives result from the body re-establishing a normal hormone level postpartum? I m 7 months postpartum and have hives all over my body on a daily basis since about 2-3 months postpartum. The hives started on my c-section scar and have spread from there. i m breastfeeding and the hives are miserable to live with! my allergist just wants to treat with zyrtec. i m relucant to take it because of its effect on milk supply. any thoughts? thanks!
Hi, You seem to be suffering from allergic reaction leading to hives all over the body. You need oral antiallergics like pheniramine male ate along with local application of soothing agent like calamine. It is better to avoid a lot of medications esp. painkillers, which can be causative agent. Hope it helps.
