DEAR SIR/MADAM
BODY ITCHING MIGHT BE CAUSED DUE TO EXCESSIVE MEDICINES AND ANTIBIOTICS. IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY RESIDUAL SYMPTOMS OF FEVER, CHILLS AND BODYACHE AND EVEN IF YOUR BLOOD COUNTS ARE NORMAL THEN YOU CAN PLAN TO TAKE TAB. LEVOCETRIZINE 10 MG AT NIGHT TIMES IT WILL DECREASE THE SYMPTOMS OF ITCHING.
DONT CONTINUE THE LEVOCETIZINE TABLETS FOR A LONG TIME, TRY TO TAKE IT FOR 10 DAYS AND LEAVE, TAKE THE TABLET ESPECIALLY INT HE NIGHT TIMES AT IT MAY SOME TIMES CAUSE DROWSINESS.
THANK YOU
