hey do y'all think I should visit the hospital?
I think I ate something I'm allergic too. I'm breaking out in hives. I don't want to waste money on medical bills and the doctors says it's nothing to worry about

@nightjourney the medical system here is horrible. We got some of the best doctors in the world but people have to pay. Because I'm technically self employed, I don't have access to medical insurance like would if I was working a normal job. It's one of the draw backs. I was thinking about moving to Canada but there's a bill being passed over there that stops content creators from their videos being pushed. So places like YouTube won't pay them. That's my bread and butter.

Honestly if it’s not spreading, or swelling and your throat isn’t tight. I wouldn’t go. They only gonna give you Benadryl and a steroid cream. You can probably go to Walgreens and the pharmacist can hook you up with some stuff that will clear up the rash.

@empanadas if it doesn’t clear up or gets worse in a couple days I would get it checked out even if it’s just a minute clinic after work. Hope you feel better.

@empanadas I had purple and red hives all over my body once, from a cold virus of all things. But they told me , when the hives didnt diminish with one dose, that I would need a couple doses a day, for a couple days. But Im not certain if its the SAME with food hives. Id say give your urgent care line a call tonight..ask if you should head in even if throat is not affected🌻

@Spunkylama thank you, I ate some peanuts which is werid because I never had problems. Luckily it's just hives
@empanadas Okay, so watch yourself. If it gets worse do not hesitate to call 911. I'd suggest avoiding peanuts in all forms in the future. People can develop allergies later in life. You could schedule a regular doctor's appointment for allergy testing to confirm. Please take care.

Unless you are having breathing issues they will treat with Benadryl. I had a reaction to an antibiotic and had hives and I was having a hard time breathing. I called the hospital because I work there and the charge nurse told me to take Benadryl and if that didn’t work to come in. She told me to stop that antibiotic and call my doctor in the morning. It was -45 C that night and was trying to save me a trip to the hospital when it was so cold and the healthcare here is free lol.
I hope you are feeling better. Write down everything you ate, used on your body, anything that’s new to narrow it down.

Literally everything I'm reading about your situation is making me furious, and I'm not sure who I'm mad at.

@SW-User no worries man, luckily it's just hives. it's been over 30 mins so I think it won't get worse. Weird because I never had issues with peanuts
