Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic response to insect repellent. I suggest to sue antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest to avoid the contact with the allergen. If you feel breathing difficulties, I suggest to go at the emergency room for further evaluation.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
