Hives Treatment in India

Ayaan Roy, a 28-year-old software engineer, had been battling recurrent, intensely itchy hives for six months. The raised, red welts appeared unpredictably all over his torso and limbs, often worsening at night and severely disrupting his sleep. He had tried over-the-counter antihistamines with little relief and kept a detailed food diary, finding no clear trigger. His primary care physician, concerned about the chronic nature and impact on Ayaan's quality of life, referred him to an Internal Medicine specialist. The doctor recommended a systematic approach, starting with high-dose, non-sedating prescription antihistamines and a short course of oral corticosteroids to break the cycle. Ayaan experienced significant relief within 48 hours of starting the treatment; the itching subsided, and the hives faded. Over the next month, under close monitoring, his medication was carefully tapered to a lower maintenance dose. The outcome was excellent; he has been hive-free for three months on a minimal daily antihistamine. Emotionally, Ayaan journeyed from frustration and exhaustion, feeling his body was betraying him, to immense relief and regained control. He can now sleep through the night and focus at work without constant distraction.
