What Causes Itching And Swelling In The Ears After Receiving Flu Shot?
Yesterday I got a flu shot. This afternoon my ears started itching and swelling. ( I used to get hives years ago.) Now I notice a hive on my forehead. I have some cortisone cream, but don t know if I should use it because I have to take a beta blocker (Coreg) for atrial fibrillation. Any advice?

What Causes Itching And Swelling In The Ears After Receiving Flu Shot?
Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction due to the flu shot. I suggest using antihistamines daily such as Levocetirizine. I also recommend using steroid lotion for local application. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
