Red And Tick Cutaneous Erythemia After Taking Antihistamines. No Itching And Swelling. Any Other Medication For Allergy?
Three years ago. the more antihistamine I take, the more the cutaneous erythemia of my thighs and arms are getting more red and tick. I was taking Loratidine, reactin , chlotripolon. also Doxepin seemed to make it worse. I have no itch, no swelling or other symptoms. What can I take if I had a allergic reaction to food. or angioma of lower lip;

hello You basically need to be sure in the first place why you are taking antihistamine and how frequently you develop angioedema. Its a medical enmergency so whenever you develop it you can immediately have a shot of steroid eg depomedrol 40 mg stat IM. Secondly doing a six month course of montelukast will help developing recurrent attacks of allergies and angioedema
