General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The symptoms seem to be related to an allergy reaction to Tikosyn.
I suggest you to take daily antihistamines.
You should also use calmine lotion for local relief and reconsider an alternative medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
