Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query as well as image attached and would try to help you in the best possible way. Features are suggestive of allergic response which could be due to any cause like dust, insect bite, etc. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:
- cetirizine one at night for 5 days
- wash/change bedding thoroughly.
Hopefully you will see improvement in 2-3 days BUT if conditions remains same or aggravates then you need to visit hospital for further workup.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
