What Causes Inflammation And Itching Of Skin With Headaches?
My mother started taking Endogest this evening. At dinner she ate fish that came into contact with shrimp and she has a shrimp allergy. Once she got home she called me and complained of red hot skin, itching and a headache. She had never had this reaction to shrimp before so she suspects the medicine. Sound common?

Hi,
Your mother may be having allergy. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. A course of antihistamines and steroid in tapering dose would improve the condition. Avoid the dietary stuff which is suspected allergen.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
