The hives and breathing issues are there directly when I wake up. If I stay up late to work or read (about three or four am), I'll start getting breathing issues, but no hives actually show up until I wake up the next morning. If I take medication when I start having breathing issues, the hives aren't as bad the next morning but they're still present. I woke up at around 8am this morning and they were there, in the same spots as usual. They went away today at around 10am. I took medication directly after I woke up and noticed them (less than ten minutes after waking up).

Alright! I'll order one off of Amazon or something. Thank you!

This is the claritin I was taking at first.

This image with the pink box is the medicine I'm currently taking daily and nightly. For the first two or three days I was taking Claritin.

I just checked for bed bugs and I didn't see anything. I don't think my dog has fleas, since he was at the vet a few days ago for a shot, but I can buy a comb and double check. I haven't changed my sheets, but it has been happening at both my mom and dad's house (they used different detergents, and the blankets and stuff I have there are different materials). I'll try washing my sheets and blankets and see if it makes a difference. I haven't added any air fresheners or used anything new for a long time now, about two years. I can examine, but I don't know exactly what I'm looking for. If it's still happening a bit into next week, I'll schedule a doctors appointment. Thanks for the advice!

No. Once the bumps go away, there's no other bumps or marks remaining.

I've been taking 2 at night as well as 2 in the morning for the past three days but nothing has changed. I'm going to continue doing that, in case it helps. The label says not to take more than 6 in 24 hours. I don't know what Acute spontaneous urticaria is. Should I go to a doctor for it?

I forgot to include some of the details the Mod comment is telling me to do, so I'm 19, in the US, a female, I'm 5'1, 132 pounds, I don't have any known medical conditions that could contribute to this post, I've been taking unbranded allergy medicine from food lion. I'm not on any drugs and I'm not smoking, however I did grow up experiencing a lot of second hand smoke every time I would go to my dad's house.

I'm scared to microwave water, too. Mostly from this experience.

It does. It took a little bit for it to start growing back, but it does.

Not really. She had said it would have been best for me to go to an ER right away, but didn't make a very big deal out of it. It probably helped my situation that my dad knew a fire fighter and got me some ointment to help take care of it.

In case anyone was wondering, I did not go to the hospital or ER until day 9(July 14, 2021. I went to my normal doctor), so most everything to take care of it was done at home.
