Treatment for hives

My son 6 yrs has severe hives at least once or twice/week for last 5 months. Docs have been no help.What is the cause? Medication works for short time. He is miserable. Please help

Keep a little diary, with symptoms and foods --clothes, etc. so you can begin to identify patterns.  It may be contact dermatitis from laundry detergent, food sensitivities, candida, etc.  Try some oral probiotics to decrease his immune reaction, and consult a trained health care practitioner to help identify the cause. If it is a prescription medication it simply pushes the problem deeper, and then it reappears.


  So, treating the cause is necessary.
