Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Feeling feverish with overall itching of the skin in spite of a normal body temperature is likely to be due to cholinergic urticaria or an allergic manifestation.
In such cases, a rise of body temperature or sweating triggers the itching on the body.
Some common treatments include taking antihistamines (such a Allegra, Zyrtec, or stronger ones)-you are already taking cetrizine for it, avoiding known triggers (such as hot weather, physical activity, and spicy foods), corticosteriods (only for extreme cases), anabolic steroids, UVB therapy, sweat/exercise therapy, diet changes (such as avoiding known trigger foods), and more.
You can get the appropriate drugs prescribed from your dermatologist.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
