Brief Answer:
Allergy, watch carefully, anti allergy medication

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,

I am sorry about that. Do you have any itches? Any redness? Any new drug? If you experience any of these, you might have experienced an allergic reaction to something. This might be related to new clothes or an insect most probably.

You might need to use an anti allergic drug for a couple of days first and watch. Anti histaminic drugs like Phernergan (sold over the counter) might be helpful.

You need not worry for the moment. However, you need to watch out for any aggravation of symptoms or any onset of new symptoms like fatigue , fever or swelling.

If you experience any of these, you might to see the emergency room.

Taking a simple drug for allergies over the counter and watching, for now, to me seems plausible and sufficient.

No worries as I wish you the very best of health.

Kind regards,

Dr Bain.
