Brief Answer:
Avoid allergic products.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.

You have mentioned that you get itching when you take curd or butter milk, it indicates that you might be allergic to dairy products.

Your doctor has given you the right medication(Aratax) anti histamine, please continue the same medication. This is just a temporary treatment for allergy.

The best way to prevent allergy is avoid exposure to allergen especially diary products in your case. And try to note down which other food items you are allergic to and avoid those food items.

If you get similar symptom again, I would suggest you to visit a Dermatologist or an Immunologist to get the tests like blood tests and skin pick test to confirm the allergen and treat you accordingly.


Hope this answers your query.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
