Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 Hi all, My 15 year-old daughter has had hives on and off for years, . Her allergist wants her to try a six month course of daily Zyrtec and says it may " shut down " her hives permanently. She has taken antihistamines only as needed til now. She is reluctant to be on daily meds without some idea of a success rate or of possible dangers. Does anyone have experience with this as a treatment? Did it work? How did you feel? Any info or feedback anyone could provide would be so welcome. Thanks, Phoebe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Hi Pheobe, I am so sorry to hear your daughter is suffering with these nasty hives. My daughter is three and has been on zyrtec for two years and no miracles have happened ( Maybe we could come up with some suggestions for your daughter if you post a history of what type of CU she is battling and other factors you think may be the true cause of the CU and what other labs she has had done and what meds has she tried.
