Allergic, Itchy Lips With Pimples, Nasal Stuffiness, Itchy Eyes, Taking Protonix, Fish Oil, Calcium, Glucosamine
My lips are itchy with small pimples . I am a 62 year old woman taking 80 mg of protonix , 3000 mg of fish oil, 1800 mg calcium and glocosamine/chondroitin daily. I do have allergies and am experiencing some itchy eyes and nasal stuffiness as well. I am afraid I am going to look like my little students who come to lessons with huge chapped areas around their mouths.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It seems that you are having an allergic reaction and it could be to anything that you are currently getting exposed to. Identifying the allergen could be a difficult task. Till then, I would suggest the following:
a. Take tablet cetrizine 10 mg in the day time and tablet benadryl in the night time.
This can be taken till your symptoms resolve.
You would be fine in a few days.
Hope this helps.
