Answered by Dr. Gaurang Krishna (13 hours later)

Hello,

Thanks for writing in,

It may be due to the flushing caused by the drug.
You may try taking antihistamines.
Benadryl is available OTC. You may take 25mg thrice daily. If the symptoms do not improve in a day you must consult a physician personally.

I hope I have answered you query

Thanks
