Thanks for the prompt response. I have never had a reaction like this
to anything. As long as I am on the benedryl, the hives go away, but
when the medication wears off, they come back. Should I be concerned
about that? What is epinephrine? Should you get a shot of it when the
hives keep coming back after benedryl wears off? Any advice is helpful.
Thanks.
