General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
In my opinion you seem to have Urticaria.
Your doctor prescribed medicines to treat it.
However the persistence of symptoms might warrant the need to continue the antihistaminic medicines for a little longer.
Plus it is also advised to look for any items in your surroundings or any food which might be triggering the urticaria.
I find this answer helpful
