What Causes Itching In The Body After Eating Meat?

I am 18 years old boy. I was having dengue fever and had descharged

from hospital on 21st Nov.10. When I eat non-veg, my full body starts

itching. What should I do? Is it because of any infection or cold winter?

I was treated at Godrej Hospital, Mumbai.

Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions:

1. Were I treating you, I would prescribe you an antihistamine like levocetirizine or hydroxyzine for 2-3 days for treatment of the reaction.

2. I would suggest you allergy testing for the foods that you react to. I would suggest you to avoid those particular foods for at least 3-6 months followed by "trying" small amounts of food to know whether you still react.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
