What Causes Itching In The Nose And Lips?

I had a decadron shot today for allergies & I m feeling a little strange, a little jittery, can t sleep, nose & lips are itchy, & weak in my legs. Was just wondering if I am having a reaction to the shot & if I should be concerned or just go lie back down? If you answer my question on my email address I will have to leave this site to access it.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

The symptoms of strange feeling, weakness in legs and itchy nose and lips can be due to your allergies, however it can also be due to allergy to the steroid shot..

So it has to be taken care of and watch if it worsen..

You should take rest for now but of the symptoms exaggerate you should immediately consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..

A blood test can be done to rule out the if you are also getting an allergic reaction to Decadron..

If you have a problem of allergies you can also discuss with an Immunologist about Immunotherapy as this treatment procedure helps in making the allergy symptoms less severe..

Hope this helps.

Regards.
