Thank you so much for your post, Had two nights of an itching hand. I then had dry skin and appied Eucerin Cream. All better now. I will go to an allergist soon for upper respiratory concerns and will ask about the bite reaction. this is a great site and has excellent postings.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Antihistamines block the histamine receptors and will help with allergic symptoms. But I would suggest you obtain a referral to an allergist or an ENT who does allergy testing. That is the only way to reliably know what is causing your allergic reaction. Some allergies can be life-threatening as they can precipitate anaphylactic shock in which the swelling can be so severe that it impairs the ability to breathe. Therefore, I would suggest you see someone as soon as possible.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
