    demazin does but less than half the dose of pain stop. I know if dimetapp does.

    Olive, what makes you think they are hives? I'd be disinclined to give anything without knowing the cause

    MG they came up suddenly after her bath, nothing eaten or done out of the ordinary today, the skin is red with white raised bumps, the areas go down then move to another area, mainly on arms and legs

    I'd ring the 24hr health line and check with them. Just to make certain you are doing the right thing.

    without seeing her, it is hard to accurately diagnose. But if you are convinced it is hives, then give an antihistamine but in a low dose. So the demazin would be a better option than the pain stop.

    Has her breathing changed at all or is it simply a topical (skin) issue?

    It could just be a change in the weather or some dust that has caused it. We are coming into hayfever season. A lot of people also struggle as the warmer weather increases.

    Sorry for poor typing and grammer (and missign words!) tonight!

    then the demazin will probably provide her with the most relief tonight. hope the itch settles soon for her. I'm off to bed so logging off now.
