What Causes Severe Itchiness All Over The Body After Taking Flonase?
I used Flonase about 6 hours ago (first time) and now have significant itchy rash. Should I take an antihistamine (ex Claritin reditab 10mg)? The itch feels similar to hives and is all over. I ve used topical anti-itch lotion which helps some. I m 74 and take NO medications.
