Hives-Common Causes

Common causes of acute hives:
  • Viral infections- ie strep throat, athlete's foot and urinary tract infections.
  • Mycoplasmas would be worth looking into here, since they are occult infections that are around for a long time. Little energy robbers-yes they are. Found one yesterday with my 5 yr old.
  • Stress-common cause of alot of health issues.
  • Chronic infections-viral hepatitis, sinus, urinary, h pylori.
  • Check also for a sensitivity to Histamine.
  • Metabolic issues like thyroid function, autoimmune issues.
  • Use NSAIDS (asprin, ibuprofen, etc.) or other medications
  • Allergies/sensitivities-check environmental, microbes, Vitamin C
