Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hives generally settle down in couple of days but if it is intense then it could even take couple of weeks.There are no side effects of hives, but its important to find out the cause behind it which mostly is related to food/ insect bites/ soaps etc.

Hope that helps!
