you may start the treatment with ARS ALB 30C two doses everyday morning and evening for some days and note results.
if you note improvement, wait for the improvement to stabilise and then take ARS ALB 200C every third day for two weeks.
if you dont see any improvement with ars alb, come back here for an alternate remedy.

I agree with you rishimba Ars-a is the best one for asthma, but in this case I think that Apis 6C can help a lot due to the Hives hystory, maybe there can be a suppression and asthma appear after it. The following symptoms point to Apis:
1. [Female Genitalia]Tumors:Cysts:
2. [Female Genitalia]Tumors:Uterus:
3. [Respiration]Asthmatic:Hives, from:
4. [Chest, Lungs, Bronchia and Cough]Asthma:After hives; with shortness of breath and oppression of chest on inspiration; worse in cold weather:
5. [Asthma]Difficult ailments from:Suppressions:Hives:

i agree with sergio.
if its a case of suppressed hives..apis is the right remedy.
please try as suggested if ars alb fails.

Keeping view the symptoms, the remedy selected by Dr. Rishimba is very correct.I agreed with him.
But I do not agree with Apis-6c which may aggrivate her mensuration problem. For that I suggest FRAXINUS AMERICANA-Q 10 drops thrice a day in a little water in addition to Ars.Alb.
