If you get frequent relapses of your hives after stopping cetirizine, I will advise you to continue taking cetirizine daily for a few weeks and then slowly try cutting down. Cetirizine is a safe medicine to take long term.
A small portion of patients with hives have underlying conditions like liver problems, thyroid problems and other organ problems. But these are rare.
Do consult a doctor if your condition persists.
