Suggest Remedies For Rashes On The Neck And Chest Post Taking An Immunization Shot
Brief Answer:
anti-histamine
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
It is common to get a rash after an immunization.
You can take antihistamines for the itching.
Benadryl if you only take it at night or a non-sedating antihistamine like claritin, zyrtec or allegra if you want to take it during the day.
Also keep your skin cool and use lotion on it.
Dry hot skin makes itching worse.
Use cooler water than normal for showers also since a hot shower will make the itching worse.
Let your doctor know that you had this reaction
