Suggest Treatment For Severe Itching And Swelling In The Right Arm
To check for insect bites
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your query
I'm Dr. Shuba Hariprasad and will be answering your query today.
Based on your symptoms I would like to rule out an allergic reaction.
Would you clarify a few things for me, please?
# can you see any bite marks or puncture wounds?look between your fingers & toes as well
# any bleeding?
# did you take any new medicine or food item?
# any travel or venture near trees or forest areas?
# any pets at home?
# have you used any new cosmetics? Detergents /soap?
I recommend :
-a physician consult right away as your face & lips are involved
-anti histamine and steroids if necessary .
- apply lactocalamine lotion to help soothe the itch. Avoid itching. Cool compress will help.
If you develop any breathing difficulty or the rash spreads rapidly, please visit the ER right away.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Hope this helps.
Wish you good health
Regards,
Dr. Shuba Hariprasad
