Hi !
Thank you for your query.
It seems you had developed an allergic reaction to the medicine Mobic . One thing is to stop the tablet immediately . You are rightly taking the antihistaminic . Other thing is to take low dose steroids but they can be prescribed only by your treating doctor after assessing the situation.
Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
If you have any further queries feel free to ask.
Wish you good health.
Take care.

Hi, it appears that you had an allergic reaction to the drug, but the antihistaminic activity is not upto the mark, more over it needs steroid , antibiotic, and a change of the antihistamine like citrizine. So i advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
