Can hives give you a fever?
Hives developed all over my body since yesterday, and I'm also feeling a bit feverish. I'm wondering if the hives themselves can cause a fever, or if it's something else going on.

Bro, I got hives after eating some bad seafood last year and my body temperature shot up to 101. The doctor told me it's normal for the body to run a fever when the immune system is fighting a major allergic reaction. But definitely get a doc to check it out.

I know how miserable it feels when your skin is burning and you get a fever. A cool bath with baking soda or oatmeal can soothe the itching, but a fever means there is internal inflammation. Please see a doctor instead of just relying on home remedies.

I can only speak from what happened to me. When I had a bad case of hives, I also got a low-grade fever that lasted for two days, and it went away once the rash settled. It's best to have a doctor check your specific symptoms though.

Whenever I get a combination of rash and fever, I go straight to a proper hospital clinic. It could be an allergic reaction or a viral infection like dengue or hives. Ask your doctor for a complete blood count to pinpoint the issue.

My immune system is always a bit sensitive because of PCOS, and I've had hives with a mild fever during severe flare-ups. However, a fever can also mean an underlying infection, so please don't take it lightly and consult a doctor to be sure.

My daughter broke out in hives and had a fever last summer, and we were so worried. The pediatrician explained that a viral infection can trigger both the hives and the fever together. Keep them hydrated and consult your doctor for the right dosage of medicine.
