Hello,

Hives are generally caused by an allergic reaction. It is important to identify the cause of the hives and avoid it. Benadryl and prednisone will help with the symptoms but the allergic reaction will settle completely once the causing factor is identified and avoided.

Please use Benadryl for the hives and if the doctor recommended, you can use prednisone. Do not use prednisone for long time without the advice of a doctor.

I hope I have answered your query and have been helpful to you.

I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

Regards,
