Sore Feet, Hands Due To Allergy, Difficulty In Walking. Taking Prednisone. Healing Time?
Hi there, I am just wondering how long it takes for an allergic reaction to disappear. I've been experiencing a strange allergic reaction since Tuesday afternoon and benadryl hasn't really been working. This morning I just took my first dose of prednisone to treat hives that have appeared everywhere on my body. the soles of my feet and hands are also extremely sore and I am finding it difficult to walk because of how much it hurts

one EPISODE OF ALLERGIC REACTION TAKES 3 WEE3K
IT IS OKAY YOU HAVE STARTED PREDNESOLONE BUT YOU HAVE TO TAPER THE DOSE IN 3 WEEK
YOU CAN ADD FEXOFENADINE 120 MG OD FOR 3 WEEK
APPLY DIPROVATE OINTMENT ON AFFECTED SKIN TDS
3 WK ARE MINIMUM
YOU CAN ADD DICLO AS PAIN KILLER AND ANTACID TDS AS YOU ARE TAKING PREDNESOLONE TO COUNTER THE ACID REFLUX AS THE REFLUX ITSELF INCREASES THE ALERGIES
