Hello,

You need to get some blood tests done. Kindly meet your doctor and discuss this. You need to get complete blood count to see if there is eosinophilia in blood. Generally, people with hay fever have this. In that case, you will need to take tablet Banocide Forte or Hetrazan or DEC 3 times a day for 15 days. Severe itching can be reduced by taking tablet CPM or Avil or Cetrizine.

You need to find out which substances cause allergy to you and thus avoid it.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sanjay Kini
