Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Hives can last a variable amount of time.
Usually, eruptions may last for a few minutes, sometimes several hours, and even several weeks to months.
It is very individual and depends no the exposure to the allergen.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
