What Causes Swelling On Face With Red Rashes On Body?

Urticaria/hives
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I would keep a possibility of Acute Urticaria. It presents as itching and skin welts/swellings, which can be distributed all over the body.
Urticaria OR hives can occur due to various causes like(to name a few):
--Infections(bacterial , viral, fungal)
--Alcohol intake.
--Drugs(Pain killers/ antibiotics etc)
--Certain foods and food additives/preservatives
--Physical Urticaria: Cold temperature, Heat, Pressure(Prolonged Standing, Sitting), Dermaographism etc.
--Cholinergic Urticaria: in response to strong emotions, exercise, spicy food etc --Autoimmune disorders like SLE, RA etc.
--A few cases have no underlying cause and are known as idiopathic urticaria.
I would advice you to get few basic lab tests like Hemogram, stool for ova/cyst, Urine routine, Chest X-Ray.
An oral antihistamine like Fexofenadine (Allegra 180 mg tab) OR Loratadine (Alaspan 10mg tablet) once or twice daily for a week would be suitable. They are non-sedating and wont affect your alertness level.
If I was your treating doctor I would have also given you a shot of injectable antihistamines like Avil(pheniramine) and Injectable effcorlin(hydrocortisone) for rapid relief.
A topical soothing lotion like calamine would help you symptomatically.
take care

Can stress/worry be another factor Acute Urticaria?
Thank you
Urticaria
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Blood in stool could be due to a local cause like Piles Or Anal fissure. You should consult a surgeon or a gastroenterologist regarding that.
Alcohol intake is one of the causes of urticaria, stress is not.
I would suggest that you get a prescription for the above drugs from your local care practitioner. It would be better to get the above mentioned tests written on his prescription.
regards
