I'm a 35 year old stay at home mom and graduate student. Since taking a 10 day course of Avelox for a nasal cavity infection I have had severe hives for the last three weeks. The hives started about a week after finishing the Avelox course. The doctor that prescribed me the Alevox told me that it is what is causing my skin irritations. I have good days and bad. Sometimes I wake up with swollen eyes and puffy lips. The hives are extremely irritating and look like a chemical burn. They cover about 75 percent of my body. The worst irritation seems to be on my feet, legs, arms, face and hands. The only thing that takes away the discomfort are oatmeal baths; however the hives are quick to return. I don't know how long I will suffer with this skin condition. I am on my second course of prednisone and I take antihistamines around the clock, but still no relief.
