HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the symptoms that you have discussed here may not be due to the 'warfarin' this seems hypersensitive reaction I would advise you to wait for some days this will go away, if it does not subsides then I would suggest the following treatment
1) Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg there times in day
hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
