General & Family Physician,  's  Response
since you did not describe any skin changes,you should do standard laboratory tests. look for raise in transaminase or bilirubine,a drop in hemoglobine levels,or a raise in eosinophile levels. if negative ,or until you do those analysis,try antihistaminics.
