Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.
Some advice that I can give to you are:
- Take oral antihistamines like Cetirizine daily
- Use Calamine lotion for local relief
- Take prescription of cortico-steroids by tablet or injection.
Discuss with your doctor about this treatment.
- Stay in a cool room, cool shower can also help
- Try to reduce exposure to the allergen
If you have difficulty in breathing you should go to the ER for better management of the situation.
