Is there a connection to high cholesterol and hives? I have both.    A blood test for allergies shows a reaction to dogs, but I have had then my entire life w/o a problem. Just wondering if there is another cause for the recent and sudden outbreak in hives with a sore throat besides allergies.
Hi, Hives also called urticaria may be multifactorial. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Investigations including allergy tests may be done. Dog dander may be responsible. Besides that many allergens... dietary, contactants and inhalants may be the triggers of urticaria and sore throat. I would suggest...- elimination and avoidance of food, contactant and inhalant allergens- antihistamines like fexofenadine- domain - if needed short course of steroid - subcutaneous injection of Histaglob at regular intervals I hope this would help you.
