Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had two severe allergic reactions in the last four months. Do not have a clue what causes them. Starts with severe stomach cramps, nausea then the itching starts. Itchy palms, feet, head, and private areas. A hives type rash breaks out, my ears feel like they are closing up. All the ER does is treat the symptoms.
As per your query, you have symptoms of recurring allergic reactions which is due to an environmental factor, insect bite, pollen and some plants can also cause hives.
The most important thing is to find the trigger factor. I would suggest you give cold compresses to hives several times a day to prevent from swelling and itching and take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl.
If symptoms still persist the consulting dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. The doctor may perform skin test and challenge to find out the trigger factor. Apply cold compresses and avoid intake of outside food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
