Hello,my name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
I see that you already took all the medication needed.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Apply cool compresses or wet cloths to the affected areas.
-Try to work and sleep in a cool room.
-Wear loose-fitting lightweight clothes.
-When antihistamines don't provide relief, oral corticosteroids may be prescribed.
