Suggest Treatment For Hives, Swollen Eyelids And Hair Loss

I am experiencing hives, swollen eye lids, and itchy rash and lately hair loss. I have been dealing with this on and off for two years. My Dr refuses to do an allergy panel and has prescribed 2 Zyrtec twice a day and Benadryl every four hours to manage symptoms. This calms the symptoms for a few days and starts again. I am frustrated not knowing what is triggering these allergies.

Hi,

You should undergo allergy testing. According to me, you need steroid as prednisolone for a few days. Avoid hot spicy foods, herbal products etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
