  7. ARE MY HIVES BEING CAUSED...

Are my hives being caused by using Oxycodone prescribed after my Breast Augmentation?

April 12, 2014
Asked By:Dancer13137

I have chronic hives as a result of SLE Lupus. I had my BR surgery two weeks ago and have had a terrible hives flare up. I have asked my surgeon wether it is the Oxycodone use or the surgery that caused the flare up and he was not sure. I am still taking half a tablet at night for pain so I can sleep. I also take benadryl, zyrtec, allegra, and hydroxyzine. Have any of you seen this before? Also, is it okay to begin a course of Prednisone since I am two weeks post op?

If you're definitely having milk drainage from around and beneath your incisions this is an issue. This is best solved by drying up the breastmilk. This can be done with numerous medications. The one that comes to mind for me is bromocriptine. You need to either have your plastic surgeon start...
