Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

I would keep a possibility of Acute Urticaria.

Urticaria OR hives can occur due to various causes like(to name a few):

-Infections(bacterial , viral, fungal)
-Drugs(NSAIDs/pain killers)
-Certain foods
-Cold temperature
-Cholinergic Urticaria:in response to strong emotions, exercise
-Physical Urticaria: dermographism, pressure (prolonged standing, sitting)
-In autoimmune disorders like SLE, RA etc.
-A few cases have no underlying cause and are known as idiopathic urticaria.

As a treating doctor i would have advice him to get few basic lab tests like Hemogram, stool for ova/cyst, Urine routine, Chest Xray.

An oral antihistamine like Fexofenadine OR Loratadine once or twice daily for a week would be suitable. They are non-sedating and wont affect alertness level.

a topical soothing lotion like calamine would help him symptomatically.

regards
