Hi.
As per your case history of urticaria and wheezing, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors for 2 months.
2. Don't take any medication without consulting a doctor as it may worsen the condition.
3. Continue calamine lotion application on affected region twice daily.
4. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
5. Take paracetamol medication for fever.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
