How To Treat Red, Hot Rashes On Face After Intake Of Coffee With Chicory Having History Of Being Allergic To Rag Weed?

I figured out that the alternative herbal coffee I was drinking, Teeccino, has chicory as the main ingredient, after I broke out in a serious rash on my face that is super red and very hot. I looked up chicory and found that it's a relative of rag weed, which I am highly allergic to. I stopped drinking the tea, but the rash has been going on for a couple days now and it hurts. What can I put on it to calm it down and not make it hurt worse?

Hi,Dear.Welcome to HCM.
When a patient comes to me with the same problem i usually advice him to apply HYDROCORTISONE 1% ointment twice a day and Tab.ALLEGRA 120 mg once in a day for 5 days.You will be fine very soon.And ALLEGRA may cause a little drowsiness so avoid driving while you are taking the medicine.So take care.
