I’ve had on and off chronic urticaria since 4th grade. Many members of my mom’s family has had a history with it. The doctor prescribed Hydrozyzine Syrup also known under the brand of Vistaril. It does a great job of getting rid of the urticaria for a year or two after a week of taking the medicine. The only side effect is drowsiness. It takes like Nyquil so I assume there’s probably an alcohol substrate of some sort.
I had a huge breakout of it when I was with my mom’s family in Vietnam several years ago. That’s when I encountered the best treatment I’ve ever received. They rubbed vinegar on the welts and had me drink tea. Within an hour, the itching and everything was gone. Since then, I rarely get the outbreaks; and it was light when it does come out.

I am 48 and suffering from urticaria after I was put on medication for high blood pressure in September 2009. The capsule ceruvin contained a drug which triggers these hives. Although I stopped this capsule in November 2009 it’s effect still remains. I am avoiding sour foods.

Certain drugs can cause urticaria apart from many other causes like eating strawberry, certain digestive tract disorders, fish, eggs, emotional excitement, insect stings and mosquito bites. Use of turmeric paste helps in building bodies vital capacity and flushes out body toxins, if taken with water.
