Dr. Paula Busse has written an entire article here about daily/chronic hives.
The cause of these hives can be very difficult to determine.
She does offer some explanations about the condition as well as tips for getting relief.
Your son should continue working with his doctor to determien the best relief for him.
Good luck!
