What Causes Sore Neck And Itching Ears After Eating Food?

it could be anaphylactic reaction
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am sorry about the whole issue. You seem to have developed an anaphylactic reaction to the food that you consumed. In addition, the bite from the bed bugs made it worse.
Now, coming to the treatment - You could take antihistamines like Zyrtec 10mg at bed time one tablet for 7 days minimum. This will reduce the symptoms and help to prevent further reactions, if any.
Secondly, you could take Capsule Omeprazole 20mg on empty stomach early in the morning for a minimum of 7 days again. This will take care of the oesophageal irritation and inflammation, if any.
Both the medicines are available over the counter for you.
In addition, you can apply calamine lotion on the affected areas of skin to soothen them and help in faster healing. Apply it on the neck and the surrounding muscle area where you feel sore as well.
Hope this helps you and you get well soon.
Regards,


I also forgot to mention that the night before yesterday I suddenly felt achy as if I was coming down with a cold. This went on for several hours until I took some Advil to help relieve the symptoms. I am guessing I must have been allergic to the bed bugs. This is so upsetting to me. I am feeling this tightness in my throat again this morning. Thank you. I am going to purchase the medications this morning to suggested. Also, are you allowed to prescribe medications?
all specific answers are below
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Yes, you can take both these medicines at the same time. However, Omeprazole has to be taken on empty stomach while Zyrtec has to be taken after food. You can take at the same time, no harm in it.
There is residual anaphylactic reaction that is left over, that is the reason for the sensations coming back again. With Zyrtec tablet it will stop.
We are allowed to mention over the counter available drugs. However, we cannot prescribe prescription drugs. That would be medically unethical.
Hope you have gotten the answers.
Regards,


Sincerely, XXXXXXX
thank you too, XXXXXXX
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
thank you too, XXXXXXX
A wonderful and blessed day to you too.
Take care!


I followed your instructions and got the medications your prescribed. Thank you! I am feeling much better now. I talked with the physician pharmacist and she was helpful in helping me find the medications your prescribed. She also included that I should seek getting an epi pen in case an allergic reaction occurs again. I do realize that I need a prescription for that. I do not have medical insurance unfortunately at this time, but I have the option to visit a doctor and pay cash. Would you suggest I take a copy of our communication as evidence that I am having an allergic reaction so I can get this epi pen? Please advise. And again thank you so much!!
yes, please take a copy of our communication
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Yes, please do take a copy of our communication so that it becomes easier for the doctor to arrive at a conclusion.
Also, yes, you can take the Epi pen shot if symptoms do not improve. I suppose your doctor should give you that without any hesitation.
Get well soon.
