I had gallbladder surgery 9 days ago and I’ve been suffering with hives all over my stomach and under my breasts. The surgeon told me to use Benadryl cream and the pill and that didn’t work. The pill put me to sleep and when I woke up the itching was still there. I called back to complain. I started using hydrocortisone and that didn’t work. Then the surgeon prescribed hydroxide hci. I’ve only taken a couple of pills but so far no relief. This is horrible! It’s bad enough that I have to get through the pain of the healing from surgery but I have to itch like crazy all day. Does anyone have any advice?
