Hello,
Your wife's symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to the medication that she is using. I suggest to use an antihistamine medication such as loratadine 10 milligrams daily. I also suggest to use betamethasone cream for local application. If the symptoms continue she should consult the doctor for an alternative treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
