Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

This could be in response to allergic reaction from insect bite, food , dust or pollen. I would suggest you following things :
> Take cetirizine one at night for 5 days
> Avoid the incident that caused allergy e.g if it was some particular food then avoid it in future.
> Try to keep your body covered so that insect bite does not repeat till you become healthy again.

Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 2-3 days
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.
> There is difficulty in breathing.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
