Answers:

Urticaria is generally caused by direct contact with an allergenic substance, or an immune response to food or some other allergen, or for other reasons.
• Medication such as antibiotics, codeine, penicillin, sulfa, anticonvulsant drugs, phenobarbital, and aspirin
• Foods like shellfish, nuts, tomatoes, soy, chocolate, and berries
• Pollen
• Cat dander
• Insect bites such as bee ans wasp stings
Other causes of hives include: emotional stress, bacterial - viral - fungal infections, hepatitis B, parasitic worms, food additives, plants, cold temperatures, heat, sweating, and dermatographism (irritation from pressure or tight fitting clothes).


As i know, homeopathy is supposed to be natural. So it has no side effect nor drugs interaction (fda appovement).

If your uncle wants it, i dont see any harm. But for self secure, read the information label, and keep his usual drugs near him, in case the homeopathy med didn't work very well.

There are some general measures you can take to ease the symptoms associated with urticaria:
• Avoid heat; keep the temperature of the skin cool
• Stay away from alcohol, as it causes flushing of the skin
• Try not to scratch affected areas
• Wear loose clothes that will not put pressure on the skin

Good luck, have a nice weekend.
