What medications can I take to treat hives and persistent body and scalp itching, given that cetrizine only provides temporary relief and courses of Dazit, Lazine, Ivermectal, and Zental have not helped?
Since cetirizine, Dazit, Lazine, Ivermectal, and Zental haven't given you lasting relief, your hives may be chronic. Sometimes, combining different classes of generic antihistamines (like adding famotidine to a stronger daily non-drowsy antihistamine like fexofenadine) can help. For persistent cases, a dermatologist might recommend a short course of oral corticosteroids or advanced therapies like omalizumab. Please consult a specialist to investigate potential underlying triggers, such as autoimmune factors or specific allergies, through blood tests.
