How long do hives last? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
The duration of hives (urticaria) depends on the cause and characteristics of the individual case. In most cases, it usually passes within a few hours or days. Chronic urticaria that lasts more than six weeks, however, can be more prolonged and sometimes last for months or even years.
If an allergy causes hives, the symptoms may subside when the allergen is removed. If the cause is an infection, hives symptoms may lessen as the infection is treated. Effective treatment prescribed by a doctor can help control the symptoms of hives more quickly.
Each individual can react differently; some people may experience a single attack of hives, while others may experience repeated episodes. If urticaria is chronic, symptoms may persist for a long time, sometimes months or years. In this case, working with a doctor who can prescribe the appropriate treatment to manage chronic urticaria is essential.
