Transcript excerpt

How long do hives last from an allergic reaction? When your body is exposed to an allergy trigger, it releases a molecule called histamine. Histamine makes your blood vessels get better. And when this happens in your skin, it can actually cause swelling or what we call a hive. Depending on the allergy trigger, your hive can last an hour, it can last a day or even multiple days. The best over the counter treatments for hives are things like antihistamines like Claritin, Zyrtec, and Benadryl. But if you have severe hives, you should work with an allergist to try to figure out the best way to make them go away for good.
