For the last several weeks I ve had outbreaks of either hives or some kind of bug bite. But I have never seen any bugs, and my husband doesn t have the problem. As for hives, the only thing I can think of that I have recently changed is that I ve been drinking more milk -- 2 percent.I am 70 years old and have never had any food allergies before. Is it possible that I have developed a milk allergy this late in life?
This sounds like allergy. It could be due to milk but cannot say for sure because many a time it's difficult to identify the allergen. You may take an anti-allergic like cetirizine or loratadine or fexofenadine for some time. If these do not help a short course of asteroids may be required.
