Itching, Difficulty In Swallowing And Skin Rashes After Eating Chicken And Peanuts. Took Loratadine And Celestamine. Need Faster Relief
I have allergy all over my neck, upper body and arms because of eating chicken and peanuts yesterday. I took Loratadine yesterday but it didn t work. This morning after breakfast I tool Celestamine (2mg) tablet and I m still waiting after an hour but the itch and rashes won t go away. I feel like there s a lump in my throat and it s quite difficult to swallow. Please tell me if there s any fast relief medication i can take as I am at work now and won t be able to go to the doctor just yet. Thank you.

it will take time about 2 wk as allergy occurs immediately by anything at any age at any time
avoid these in future
you are already taking steroids in celestamine
change to predneolone starting with 60 mg od tapering it off slowly for 3 week
apply calamine lotion on affected area
add liquid antacids tds
and fexofenadine 120 mg bd
do 3 wk
