What Causes Headache And Itchy Hands After Using A Vicks Humidifier?
Today for the first time I ran a vicks humidifier. Soon thereafter I developed a mild headache and a couple of hours later my head felt very hot and my arms and back began to itch. It has calmed down now but is still sensitive. Could that have been an allergic reaction?

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic
Yes, it is an allergic reaction. You need thoroughly washing body part and tab Levocetrizine for 3 days. As this is a prescription drug please contact your local doctor he will prescribe this. If you are having any further query then you can come back to HealthcareMagic. I will definitely help you.
With Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
