Hello,

my girlfriend suddenly broke out in hives today. They spread very quickly and were huge welts. She started feeling nauseous and said she felt slightly disoriented. I had her take a warm shower which helped with the itching and gave her a benadryl. The hives that showed up at first began to disappear but new ones kept coming up. Finally, she is not breaking out as quickly, but she still feels nauseous. She is sleeping now. I am worried whether or not we should go to the hospital. We have no idea what caused this. She took a tylenol this morning, but nothing else. She ate raisin brand (she has had before) for breakfast, but so did i. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

As you posted several days ago I hope that all is better by now, if not pm me & i'll try & help but it does sound like an allergic reaction & this could have been to a new fragrance, a smell or pollen from outside(a neighbour may have planted something new or had an old plant finally flower) or from a piece of new furniture or a new polish/cleaner etc etc.
