Hi,

If you are having a severe allergic reaction then you can repeat the hydrocortisone injection 100mg provided you are not diabetic. I suggest you also take a promethazine injection if there are no contraindications. This will also alleviate the itching you are experiencing.

You can also apply a topical steroid eg betamethasone diluted in some emolient cream such as Epizone, E45 or Barrs emolient. Add on a non sedating antihistamine like cetirizine 10mg at night until the symptoms resolve.

I suggest you consider using an alternative to gestone, please discuss treatment options with your doctor. Get well soon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Felicia Manickam
