call your dr and watch her because some hives can interfere with breathing
. i put absorbine jr liquid on my hives.(find at walmart) burns 4 just a second but it's the only thing to knock my severve itching which has left me bloody and scared from the itch.maybe a bath in baking soda. heat tends to make the itch worse so a cold bath.
after she sees the dr maybe he will put her on atarax but omg it makes you sleepy. loratadine might be given.it is perscription and over the counter also. it dosen't have the sleepy affect and is cheap but dosen't seem 2 work as well to me.

Hi not sure how old your poor little girl is, but any antihisamine should help. Hopefully you can figure out why shy has hives, since that is very important! Dimatapp or something like that. Just run to the Wal-Mart and read the label OR you could call the pharmacy if your doctors office is already closed for the day. Good luck and I hope she feels better soon!!!!!!!!

You really need to talk to a Dr or pharmacist. Many of the allergy medicines available to adults should not be given to children. If the hives occur commonly, it might be a good idea to take to an allergy specialist to determine the cause. Hives often occur from food allergies.

People CAN be allergic to antihistamines so I would be cautious about the recommendations to give her a different type. Consult a doctor, one who takes the benadryl allergy seriously.

I would try a cortisone cream applied directly to the hives. You can also call a doctor and ask about Atarax.

First I would not take the advice of anyone who is not qualified to answer this question (meaning specific medicines suggested as your daughter may have a worse reaction to that). Second, I would call your doctors office and ask to speak to your doctor or the advice nurse. If you don't have one, or you don't have insurance if you go to your local pharmacy they pharmacists can help direct you to medicine that will help.

Call your doctor and ask about other meds for hives. A good one is Atarax.

i would ask the pediatrician. claritin is an antihistamine that's available over the counter-but is primarily used for seasonal allergies. also sometimes steroids like prednisone, but you need a prescription.
