I have swelling in my hands along with a itching and burning like needles. there is also hives popping up sporadically on my arms and legs not a lot but they are very itchy. my upper lip is also swelling. this has been happening off and on for a couple of days. I just bought some hydrocordisone cream to stop the itching what else can i take or do or is it urgent for me to go in to the hospital?
It's an allergic reaction to something that you are getting in contact within few days.. start with antihistaminic medicines like cetrizine.. Allegra.. or avil.. soon as you are having swelling over lips.. the cream you are applying is OK.. also search for the allergens around you.. and avoid that completely..
