What Is The Remedy For Hives And Rash Aftewr A Cat Bite?

I got bit by a cat in the nose which shed blood. I then took antibiotics for six days. On the sixth day I broke out in hives and rash. This lasted for three weeks and it is now flaring up again. I also have had herpes 1. Could this be due to an out break if its all over my body?
