[quote=Anonymous]My daughter had chronic urticaria (chronic hives) for years. It took a lot to figure out it was a viral trigger... every time she had a virus (whether she showed symptoms or not) she would get hives AFTER the virus was done and it was breaking down in her body. Apparantly her autoimmune system reacted to what the virus did as it was leaving her body. We had to put her pn zyrtec for 6 months. The key was to calm down the auto immune system to the point where it reset and would not have that reaction. The more your body has hives, the more your autoimmune system overeacts and the more you get hives, so the key thing is trying to settle down your autoimmune system so you can go a long period without having them at all. At first the zyrtec was to relieve the symptoms, but then it was preventative. I hope this makes sense... we struggled figuring out what to do so hopefully this can help someone else![/quote]
