Hi Mr XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us.
There are two possible reasons for symptoms - allergy or cholestasis of pregnancy (jaundice of pregnancy).
In case of allergy, she should get relief by taking anti histaminic.
In case problem persists, Your wife might have cholestasis of pregnancy, in which itching occurs all over body with derange LFT (liver function test) and increase alkaline phosphatase level.
You should consult a gynaecologist for LFT test (to rule out cholestasis of pregnancy) and USG (ultra sonography to confirm fetal well being).
For itching relief please apply coconut oil mixed with camphor, take plenty of water and Udiliv tablet (after your gynaecologist consultation)
Hope I have aswered your query, if you have further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards
Dr. Richa
