What Causes Allergic Rashes On Body?

Posted on Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Question: i am having allergy on my whole body from last two days..Red rashes and very itchy..

Answered by Dr. Prahlad Duggal (1 hour later)

Brief Answer: Use Levocetrizine or fexofenadine tablets Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for the query. Allergy over the whole body needs to be tackled with anti histamininc tablets with Levocetrizine and fexofenadine being one of the commonly used. So, please use tablet Vozet 5 mg once daily and if need be twice daily, or tablet. Allegra/Fegra 180 mg once daily. If the symptoms persist, then you need to see a dermatologist who can prescribe some other drugs like oral steroids which should only be used under supervision. Also try to avoid any specific allergen which you think can be a culprit. Please stop using any new cosmetic, soap etc which you may have started recently. Feel free to ask another query. Regards

Thanks for the suggestion.. Do I need to take Vozet along with Allegra ? OR only Vozet would work?
