When should you see a doctor for hives?

You should see a doctor for hives in the following conditions

  1. If they are accompanied by difficulty breathing or swallowing, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat.
  2. If they last for more than six weeks (chronic hives).
  3. Additionally, if you have a fever or if the hives appear after taking a new medication, it's best to consult with a doctor.
  4. If your hives are not causing you any significant discomfort, you can observe them for a day or two before deciding whether or not to see a doctor.

Can hives be cured permanently?

While hives can be treated and managed, it is not always possible to cure them permanently.

In many cases, hives are caused by an allergic reaction or a viral infection, and the hives will go away on their own once the underlying cause is resolved. In other cases, hives may be chronic and recur frequently, or may be caused by an underlying medical condition such as an autoimmune disorder, which will require ongoing treatment.
