How long Do Hives Normally Last?

How long do hives last until whatever it is that is causing them is out of your system?

• I have been getting hives for about 2 months, and nobody has really been responding to my Questions on here... I been waking up with hives on my arms every single day recently (but they do appear on my hands, palms, knees, sometimes my forehead or chin)... last night I ate a ham & cheese sandwich w/ corn, green beans, and carrots, and i woke up w/ hives again... today i came home from class, ate ramen noodles, 2 bananas, and a bowl of ice cream and after about an hour or 2, i am breaking out bad in my hives again on my arms.. What might it be? And also, should I try not eating for about 24 hours, to see if the hives go away? PLEASE give me some advice or help.
