Treating Hives in Ojai CA
When you come to Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology Medical Group for treatment of hives in Ojai CA, we will do everything we can to help reduce the discomfort of your current hives and prevent future hives from developing.
First, we can offer antihistamines to help relieve itching as well as suppress the production of histamines that cause hives to form. Antihistamines are effective regardless of the cause of your hives, which might be allergies, infections, stress, sun exposure, or illness.
As a second step, we always check to see if hives may have an allergic trigger, because this will open up additional treatment possibilities. We can provide testing for common allergy triggers like:
- Food
- Drugs
- Insect bites or stings
- Pollen
- Latex
Once we have identified your allergic trigger, we can provide advice on how to avoid exposure and thereby prevent hives.
