How Can Acute Hives With Elbow Swelling Be Treated?

Hi! My 16yr old son just alerted us of hives he has all over his trunk - front and back and on arms and rear as well. Both of his elbows are swollen too but the right is more swollen than the left. He isn t in any pain. I gave him 2 benardryl pills just now.

Hi,

For acute hives, I would suggest a shot of Hydrocortisone along with a shot of Pheniramine Maleate. He may also take a tablet of Cetirizine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
