Can Itching And Inflammation Be Due To An Allergy With Food?
hi,
I have high blood pressure. I took my tablets three hours before I went to sleep. When I woke up I ate some mussels with fresh cream sauce. I started feeling inflamed and itchy. Could this be an allergic reaction? If so will allergex( tablets for allergies) help?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It does sound like an allergic reaction likely to the mussels or the cream sauce.
Allergex would help.
You may also want to consider allergy testing to determine if you are allergic to shell fish so that you can avoid further contact.
If a person is continually exposed to an allergen, the allergic response would progressively worsen.
I hope this helps
