Hello,

I can understand your concern. It seems that what your husband is experiencing is an allergic reaction only so it is good that you have already decided to go for allergy test.

The allergy test will test blood and the report will show what substances are acting as allergen for your husband and he will have to stop exposure to them. I would like to caution you that the future allergic reactions might be higher in severity than the episodes he is experiencing now.

In addition, if he is having an allergic reaction now, you can continue piriton till the reaction subsides. Then you can discontinue the medicine for 48-72 hours and go for allergy test.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish your husband feels better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
