There's a newly approved treatment for hives.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Quzyttir (cetirizine) to treat acute urticaria (hives).

Available as an injection to be given into the vein (IV), this new medication is approved for adults and children 6 months of age and older.

Cetirizine injection is now an alternative treatment option to IV diphenhydramine (brand name Benadryl).

The approved dose is once every 24 hours as needed for acute hives.

The Bluffton University football team played host to conference foe Franklin College on Nov. 9, in what was the final home contest of the year for the Beavers.

The Bluffton offense struggled on offense, not scoring a point during the contest which resulted in a 10-0 Franklin victory. Bluffton fell to 2-7 overall and 2-4 in the Heartland Conference, while Franklin improved to 5-4 overall and 4-2 in the HCAC.

As I scrolled through my feed I saw post after post of joyful faces celebrating an improbable run by the Bluffton High School boys' soccer team.

Not only did they beat the 1st and 3rd ranked teams in the state to get to this point, but they also won four straight overtime games: three in sudden death overtime and one in a shootout.
