Suggest Treatment For Persistent Hives After Having Nuts And Dairy Products

I have been getting hives everyday for 6 weeks. At lest 2 to 5 times a day. I gave up nuts eggs dairy bread and wheat for at least three days to eliminate food alleys. Also gave up chocolate for a week and tomatoes. Some days I get them even if I had nothing but water for hours. I am very tired which I used to think was from hypoglycemia and being over weight. I take Claritin and Benadryl which helps for about an hour and then sometimes still break out. I break out also anytime I am exerting myself or get heated. I'm also going thru the change. Please help

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be due to hypersensitivity, and this can be well managed with second generation antihistamine and the best drug would be "Tab levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day, and Hydroxyzine 10 mg three times in day, you need to continue this for couple of weeks, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
