Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions to you:
1. Regarding your esophageal symptoms, personally I would suggest you to
seek a gastroenterologist opinion and get upper GIscopy (
endoscopy) done, if possible.
2. If it is not possible, I would prescribe you a
proton pump inhibitor drug (pentoprazole or
omeprazole) for at least 4-6 weeks. If it improves your symptoms, you may need to take it for even longer time.
3. Please try to correlate your allergy symptoms with your food intake. Common foods causing allergies are peanut, milk, soy, egg, wheat, tree nuts, fjsh & shell fish, some fruits & vegetables.
Especially if you are getting symptoms within 1-2 hours of consumption of any food, it is highly likely that you may be allergic to that particular food.
4. If some particular foods are suspected, allergy testing could be done to confirm.
5. For symptoms of itchy patches (hives) and
lip swelling (
angioedema), Atarax (
hydroxyzine) is appropriate in my opinion.
6. Avoidance of the food/substance you may be allergic to is the best option to prevent repetition of episodes.
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.
