Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion it is a allergy.

As you are describing itching all over the body etc. It is the charcteritics of the allergy.

You can take cetrizine, and prednisolone under doctors guidance.

Try to find out the possible allergen responsible for your reaction. Once you find it out all will be cured. You can also prevent future incidence also.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
